This is a discussion topic for the January 2025 Book of the Month, "The Riddle of Alchemy" by Paul Kiritsis.

What do you think of the photos included in "The Riddle of Alchemy" by Paul Kiritsis?

I loved the included photos. They were my favorite part of the book. I would love to have them as art on my walls! The one I like the most is the cover photo, which is also included in the book.

The photos were one of my favorite parts of the book honestly. They were great for aesthetic purposes, but I loved how the author would break down the image and describe all the symbolism of the different aspects. I also thought it was fascinating as they delved into the history of the images and the manuscripts they came from. History is one of my passions and manuscripts another, and this book checked a lot of boxes for me. The images were a delightful surprise I never would have expected.

The photos in this book add some mystery to its storyline. They are very clear and seem to summarize the information in the book without a lot of effort. I think those who love graphic novels, will enjoy this aspect of the book.

The photos addition in the book The riddle of Alchemy, supports the data instilled in the book. Always picture proof or explanation tends to remain in memory lane more time than text. It's easier to grasp the idea.

The photos elucidate the storyline and make the book great to read. I enjoyed reading it and they were helpful

The graphics were a great touch, cause it would be hard to imagine these images just by their descriptions. So seeing it was a great boost to the overall reading experience.
