This copy is inscribed by all four artists, each of whom has added a large drawing.

A color postcard for the opening reception and book signing is laid in.

This out-of-print 2009 collection of paintings by four Pixar Animation designers -- Nate Wragg, Scott Morse, Lou Romano, and Don Shank -- was a follow-up to their previous book The Ancient Book of Myth and War. Introduction by Pixar director Pete Docter.

From BoingBoing:

This collection of mid-century styled paintings and other works of art by four obscenely talented Pixar animation designers -- Nate Wragg, Scott Morse, Lou Romano, and Don Shank -- hearkens back to the days of the Golden science books (Like Biology, Mathematics, and Chemistry Experiments), and the How and Why Wonder Books, but the theme this time is sex and robots, sex and aliens, and sex and math. (It's not really explicit -- most of the images are G-rated, and a couple are PG-13.)

From the publisher:

In this second volume in the critically acclaimed Ancient Book series, indulge yourself as you explore the strange frontiers of sex and science. From instruments of innovation and the Atomic Age to analysis of the mind, body, and seduction of the human form. Featuring broad color, shapely design, supple lines, and evocative commentary, The Ancient Book of Sex and Science is a fine art hardcover collection of images produced by some of the most highly sophisticated animation designers and low-brow artists in the industry.
