What you should know: There is no pure art book, but contains comparatively much text on history, religion, nations, people, etc. from the world of Dragon Age. The text is entirely in English.
The artworks are almost accessories, complete the book very well from. Each Dragon Age fan who wants to refresh or expand their knowledge, I would recommend the book highly.
Beginners of the game series should be careful, however: events of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 will be discussed in the book. Not necessarily in detail, but you get an overview.
A word to the digital version: I have notice of a dark horse and had to be completely unsuitable for small to medium sized tablets or laptops. I have a 7-inch tablet, since it is virtually unreadable. The font is too small. Even a 10-inch tablet, it is not sufficiently large is (even tested). A kind of "auto-focus" like the comics from Dark Horse does not exist. I recommend buying the hardcover!
