Review: Quality. - What a lovely, lovely quality art book. It helps that I've been a RUSH fan for many many years, mind. Even so, there's details here I've never seen before - from artwork proposals to preliminary sketches, interior artwork now seen large. CD covers do not do this work justice, but here on heavy glossy paper the size of an LP album cover, the work shines. (Most reviews mention the weight of this book. It is in kilogrammes!) The little touches really show - the cover art of the book as opposed to the dustjacket, the tracing paper overlays, showing the differences between the original ideas and the finished product. And then there's the comments. Explanations and interviews about each album, from Fly By Night up to their final live album. An introduction by the much missed Neil Peart, showing the thought the detail and the wit that is so much of the band. Pages of comments at the end, from other artists explaining their favourite RUSH album artwork. And as an addendum in the last part of my updated book, some of the 40th anniversary artwork and a photo dedicated to Neil. It shouldn't therefore be a surprise for me to say therefore that this tome is thoroughly recommended to RUSH fans, as an appropriate summary of their work. But even non-RUSH fans can appreciate the imagery, some of which is now iconic.
Review: A vast Rush history of album covers - Huge coffee table book. Listing all the art work done for most of the Rush albums done by Hugh Syme. Detailing how he created every iconic album cover and the inside art work. A real must for any Rush fan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality.

What a lovely, lovely quality art book. It helps that I've been a RUSH fan for many many years, mind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A vast Rush history of album covers
*by D***N on 14 April 2025*

Huge coffee table book. Listing all the art work done for most of the Rush albums done by Hugh Syme. Detailing how he created every iconic album cover and the inside art work. A real must for any Rush fan.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb record of the collaboration between music and art.
*by M***1 on 28 April 2022*

Utterly superb. A must for any Rush fan. Covering their entire career in terms of artwork. It doesn't contain everything (I would have liked singles and promos to be included), but this is just an amazing book. Hugh Syme is a talent and this really showcases his work for Rush and how it has developed with the band over the decades of collaboration. If you don't have this book, buy it now. You'll not regret it.
