Look at that epic intro page! This is absolutely amazing! This thing is off to a good start.

Dang it, Soos! Why would you do this?! Oh well, at least he lived, He’s too cool to die.

Dude, Soos survived being a ZOMBIE! I’m pretty sure he’s immortal at this point. Also, flipping the lights on and off isn’t that bad. Bionic eyes would still be pretty fricking sweet though. You wouldn’t need glasses ever again.

1) No, whales haven’t made it on land and I am really glad they haven’t. Whales are ENORMOUS! Also, fax machines HA HA HA HA HA HA!



2) Ford, how are you alive still? Not getting enough of/getting too much of any of those things sounds really dangerous!



3) Everything suddenly makes sense.



4) EURYTHMICS HA HA HA HA HA HA! Who wants to tell him?



I really want to see his reaction to the latest music now.



5) I would like one of each, thank you very much sir! (As long as the cthulhu doesn’t bite and is housetrained)



6) Cipher solution: “Figure out what a “silver fox” is and why everyone keeps calling me one.“

Stanford, you DON’T want to know (or maybe you do. It’s a compliment).

WAIT, is that all the invisible ink? Soos didn’t drink that much, did he? Man, this one’s going to be short!



Nevermind, there’s a little more. Apparently, I’m supposed to hold my hand on the page and shine the blacklight on it. Also, I’m an honorary Pines now? Thank you, book! :D



Gotta wait for the glowing to stop, I shone my blacklight on the whole thing by mistake. Gonna go see if I missed anything while I wait.

Didn’t miss something here but I wanted to revisit my favourite page and decided to try and get a better shot. I think this is a little better.



:O Nearly missed this! It was in the back of the book. This looks beautiful! It kinda reminded me of the finale and Cipher Hunt, which made me both happy (Cipher Hunt) and sad (the finale). I’m going to really miss this show!

And here it is! My hand ended up looking weird because it was sitting kind of weird. Oh well, not like the mark is permanent or anything.



Made it look cooler.:)

And here it is, back in the packaging. Not planning to keep it in there forever but I figure it’ll make a nice dust protector for the book itself. I also didn’t manage to capture the nice packaging job at the beginning so I hope this will suffice. If there’s anything else you’re dying to see, feel free to send me a message either here or on reddit (I’m /u/everlastingsnow (which explains the profile pic)) and I’ll send you a picture.



My overall thoughts on the book are as follows:

I FRICKING LOVED IT! I thought that a lot of the pages were really well designed and it was nice to get more info about the world and characters. I also liked the smaller details. From what I wrote about them ‘not being mind blowing’, one may think that I didn’t like the small extra things thrown in (ex. the portal potty or the hand x-ray lighting up) but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Those small things were a nice touch and when I said they weren’t ‘mind blowing’, I meant that in a factual sense only, not an artistic one. The only real complaint I have is that there isn’t more content after Ford gets back. I’d have loved to see more of his thoughts on the Pines family, Dipper’s adventures or the other dimensions he traveled to. Oh well, even without that, this book gets 5 stars from me.
