I was able to get one of the limited edition copies, signed by The Goddess herself. I think there is some audience for the book if one is not strictly a Tori fan. When the story more closely matched what I felt the song was about, then I loved it (like Merman or Girl) but when they were too experimental or only riffed on one line of the song I didn’t like them so much. I think if you are a true comic book fan or a EWF (and if you are one, you know what that means) then, by all means, buy it. I think just as much satisfaction can be derived from the paper copy than the expensive leather-bound copy.

This is a HUGE book of various interpretations of Tori’s ever-bemusing lyrics. Some of them seem to take the lyrics literally while others have interpretations that I would have never imagined. It’s worth having if you’re a big fan of the artists (there must be 80 of them) or of Tori, the goddess herself. (Yeah, okay I’m a bit biased). If you’re not an Ears with Feet, though, this may not be a good buy for you.
For all of you who have spent countless hours lying in bed listening to Tori and wondering what she meant there… or what was that supposed to mean?… this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars
My niece almost passed out!
I had no idea that she was trying to get this book, but with no avail. When she opened it up on Christmas morning, I will never forget her face! Glorious color and artwork.
