Absolutely the Best Cross-Section Book Ever is a unique and astounding collection of amazing views of the world in which we live by the talented artist, Stephen Biesty. Along with Richard Platt, who provides the narrative for the extraordinary artwork, Biesty takes the reader on an amazing journey to the very core of machines, buildings, ships and even the human body.

From the cockpit of a Formula 1 racing car to the inside of a movie studio, and from the depths of a medieval castle to the intricate innards of the human body, Biesty's stunning illustrations draw out the fine and complex details of each subject, allowing the reader to delve deep into the centre of different objects, examining how they work and the history behind them.

A clever idea executed to the highest of standards, Absolutely the Best Cross-Section Book Ever is an absolute must for the studious and the just plain curious. (Age 8 and over) --Sarah Taylor
