They are images that allow us to figure out a setting and characters that make the story happens to be fantastic and unreal to something with some consistency and credibility. Images that help to frame the book at hand in any of the genres that make up the literary world and encourage us to read or disposal to continue the search.
There are other literary works that base their reason for being in the same figure as the weight of the interest (and the critical eyes) fall on the general (the color, shapes, the first visual impression) and the detail. They are works in which the term premium on the textual paintings, with images and colors that already from the first pages, from the earliest pieces, we are building an imaginary environment which fits the rest of the story. Our choice will depend on whether the atmosphere that the book is exhaled from your artwork to our liking or if the contrary does not interest us or dislike us completely, without giving even a chance the body argument of the book.

But who should illustrate a book? "The author (or, failing any confidence illustrator), who knows best what they want and how they want to convey to your readers? And in the event that the author had died and we met with a classic? Illustrate how a literary gem without damaging it?
