SCP is one of those things I have always been interested in but had no idea where to begin. These "journals" are an excellent entry point, allowing someone to access this wild world with it's jargon and references. The art is beautiful and haunting, and I appreciate the links being present in the text so you can go explore specific entries more. I am extremely happy I finally have an understanding and introduction to SCP

I didn’t think this had as strong a selection of SCPs as the Black Journal, but there were still a lot of good ones. Fans of body horror will definitely appreciate this one (lots of memorably creepy images), and some of the most chilling files were social commentary of the darkest order. The art was hit or miss for me, which is another reason I preferred the prior volume.

Even though I preferred the Black Journal, I still highly recommend this volume, as well.

Honestly the weakest the three art wise and not my favorite selection of articles but it’s still fun.

The added artwork perfectly complements the text and stories. It's clear that lot of effort has gone into the layout and presentation to make the articles resemble real (in-universe) classified files, but it's hard to justify the large pricetag of the books, even with the added artwork and presentation, considering the original articles are available for free on the original site.
