This is a beautiful book, but too short as you mention.
The other disappointing thing is the foldouts. There's nothing on the foldouts that could have just been printed on a regular page. Now, instead of just turning the pages to look at all the art, I have to fold something out in order to see it, and it makes it harder to see it. In my opinion, there's very few cases where you should actually use a foldout. When designing the layout of the book, you could place a landscape image on the page and turn it by 90 degrees if you wanted to, like the Lord of the Rings artbooks do. It's actually harder to look at a large picture in a foldout, because it's so large, and because of the creases.
