It's a wonderful companion to Sleepy Hollow. More than half the book are visuals but it's a good blend with information provided. There are lots of pictures included in the form of concept art (not many), TV stills, 3D renders of locations and scenes, photos behind the scenes of actors and close ups of props and makeup. TV shows nowadays are pretty good when it comes to dressing up their sets and coming up with good designs comparable to Hollywood film standards. I enjoy reading about how they create the makeup for all the different monsters featured. Each character and location is accompanied by commentary. Highlight of the book is the insightful and interesting commentary that talks about the filming process, actors, the making of the costumes, special effects, storytelling and the mythology of Sleepy Hollow. It's not an episodic guide although of course it makes references to the episodes where the characters and monsters appear. The 176-page paperback focuses on the characters, monsters and locations, making a total of 48 chapters. This is more of a visual companion rather than an artbook, and it's a nice companion to the TV series Sleepy Hollow authored by Tara Bennett and Paul Terry. I managed to finish reading this in one sitting and it's quite an enjoyable read.
