The Codex: Inventions of the Human Mind

The book is amazing, I bought for me and for my friend, and already waiting for 3 version

I cant wait to get the two codex books cause they look really great and cant wait to have them in my book libraray

This book is all I needed. A very informative graphic encyclopedia. Props to the makers, they did a fantastic job. Considering now ordering the Invention Codex Book.

I was worried what state this book would arrive in but I need not have fretted. The packaging was exceptionally well done, no chance that damage could be done it was so well protected. As to the book itself and the accompanying sleeve, what can I say other than it's a work of art! Truly spectacular and worth the investment. This will enhance any bookcase.

It’s amazing, I give it 5 stars. The only thing that is a little disappointing is that the Codex didn’t come with the loyalty card as shown in your unboxing video on YouTube, the card that goes: “Dear Reader” other than that it’s amazing truly.

My 16 year old son and I both love knowing all the facts about how things work, how they developed, etc.This book is great for us. It is full of facts with an easy to read format and many well done pictures. The Book is hefty. Not the kind of book you take to the beach. Carrying it anywhere and holding it up takes commitment. I read it laying on the couch with it propped on my stomach. It is huge and the cover is beautifully crafted with foil inlays, and fabric. The pages are thick faux aged paper.The whimsical part comes in how they present information. While the data is good and seems well researched there are also tongue in cheek statement and illustrations. Take for instance the pyramid in this picture with things like a screening room and chariot garage included. I like how they keep it fun.My son's complaint was that finding the new information requires sifting through a lot of data we already know. I don't see how you could get around that in a world where there are so many variations of readers.I took off one star for the price. That is a hefty sum for a new book no matter how beautiful.

The media could not be loaded.

I received this book as a gift and absolutely love it. It’s beautifully made — high quality, large format, and very engaging to both look at and read.I’d definitely recommend it as a meaningful gift for someone you love and appreciate. It feels like one of those special, heirloom pieces you’ll enjoy for years to come. A great choice for families who value reading and want to inspire a love of books in their children.Such a memorable and valuable book — I’m really happy to have it!

This book is absolutely stunning.Having already received the “inventions of the human mind” book, I couldn’t wait to receive this one. Filled with beautiful illustrations on high quality paper and again filled with information. Look forward for more in the future. Both books are to be treasured for life. 😎👍

I bought both books for my 12 y/o grandson and he has devoured them! He and I have spent hours sitting together going over the histories that are depicted, talking about how the events, technologies, and historical figures have impacted our world today. I will buy these books for my other grandson when he gets a few years older. Great books!

A fabulous book, richly illustrated with compelling, beautifully drawn images and interesting and accessible text, with the whole book logically and clearly set out in chronological order.

I pre purchased this book a while age and honestly forgot it was being shipped. Boy, I was in for an awesome surprise today! This is the coolest book i own and I own a lot of books. Its damn near perfect in its presentation and I look forward to shoving this in everyone's face who comes to my place for the next good while. Cheers to everyone who worked so hard to make it happen. You did it and you did a fu****g awesome job at it.

This is a very beautiful book. It is large - very large. The quality is exceptional. Visually, it is really stunning.Inside you'll find page after page of fun facts. The book is more of an overview, and if something is intriguing enough, you have the base info to go digging deeper. Each page is thick, and has beautiful illustrations.It is a fun book and useful in that you get a surface level education on inventions of the world throughout history - things you would not have otherwise likely known about. The book is great for kids as well as adults.The reason why I took off one star is only due to cost. The price is high enough to limit who will be able to purchase this book. It is large and of exceptional quality, so the price might be in the ball park of what it is worth. I just feel it is a bit expensive. Other than the cost, this is a beautiful and interesting book, that comes incredibly packaged and would make a wonderful and exciting gift for anyone.

An exceptionally well made book that manages to be both fascinating and visually impressive. The detail, illustrations and historical insights make it easy to lose track of time while reading. It’s one of those rare books that genuinely sparks curiosity and keeps drawing you back. Very pleased with the quality and would highly recommend.

This is a beautiful book, great illustrations on high quality paper and full of information. Something to treasure. I have already ordered the Military history.book also.👍

Lovely book and heavy not one for a bookshelf but the drawings are excellent and well done with great artwork and the artists must have spent a long time on them. A great credit to all the Ukrainian people who worked on the book and value for money.

Superb book. Very well selected content that is presented in a very accessible manner, but that is still accurate and informative. The visuals are excellent, and encourage kids to browse and learn. The quality of the paper, the binding and overall presentation is top grade.
