Poll: What exactly is this book?

[Deverfro]

So I'm a big Del Toro fan, and super pumped for Pacific Rim next year!

And I found this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Guillermo-Del-Toro-Mcdonald-Keith/dp/1441124497/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=19FFIMWK7O59Z&coliid=I1J690GRLA10X7

So does anyone know what this is? A biography? Or an art book? If its an art book thing, then I'm sold!

So anyone got any clue?

The only clue I can find is that it was written by somebody else.

Pan's Labyrinth is probably gonna win. I don't know why they called it that in the U.S., I'm guessing they didn't trust Americans to know what a faun is, like the philosopher's stone. Or they thought Americans would resist a movie with a title in another language...

Well he's really a Pan, but Del Tor felt it was too sexual for the story, so he was called a Faun. But I guess they thought would know a Pan as they seem to appear a lot more.

Not really. Pan was a specific god who is traditionally depicted as a (mythological, not literal) faun. The faun in the movie wasn't specifically stated to be pan, at least not that I can remember.

Well either way, he had such a fantastic design!
