"Each of the books’ 192 pages is absolutely covered in gloriously
bleak artwork covering the many boroughs that make up the world of
Syndicate. You’ll also find plenty of fascinating concept art and
early renderings of the iconic Assassin’s gear as it shifted to a
fittingly industrialized Steampunk -inspired aesthetic over the
course of the game’s two-year development cycle." - Hey Poor
