The Three Volume Set

If you have been watching The Gnomes of New Hope blog, then you are aware that the full collection of "Zach and Zebby's Grand Adventure" involves seven fully illustrated books. "Fully Illustrated" meaning a graphics panel, containing knock-out or scene artwork, on each of the nearly 800 pages.

The first Illustrated Storybook book being Volume One ; an introduction to The Gnomes of New Hope and the next three books, being Volume Two, contains Scenes One through Nine which corresponds to Act One of the stage musical. Volume Three, contains Books Four through Seven, which consists of Scenes Ten through Twenty and corresponds to Act Two of the stage musical. 

In addition to the Illustrated Storybooks there is also a Two Volume Libretto, which has illustrations to highlight the imagery of the scene and aid in design. Those illustrations were the inspiration for developing the Illustrated Storybooks. The Libretto is a technical theatre script, containing directing notes, such as blocking and business notes, and technical design notes, such as set, lighting and implementation, as well as the dialogue and lyrics. The Libretto will be included with the Industry Review Edition, making those presentation materials a Five Volume Set.

I will try to avoid rambling off subject, so I have moved my discussion of The Industry Review Package to it's own post. Refer to that post for the continuation of this line of thought.
