Received this one for my birthday and, while the cover alone is enough to sell it and the book and interior artwork are excellent, I found myself a little disappointed with the novel itself.
I'm not going to say it wasn't worth the price of the hardcover, but for anyone not a fan of Smith's or unfamiliar with his stuff, this really isn't the place to start despite the outstanding quality of the Mansion House release.
