Contrary to both promises of the title ("Big" and "New"), this book is actually a reduced-scale abridgment of the earlier oversized art book Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream. The present format has taken the 16" x 21" broadsheet-sized pages of the original, and turned them ninety degrees to spread across two modern comic-book sized pages as a 10" x 13.5" image.

The object of this version was to create a book that ordinary consumers could own, with a list price below $20.

Perhaps my favorite pieces representing each extreme are Cole Closser's "Little Flip in Slumberland" (34-5) for the former and the contribution of Bishakh Kumar Som (48-9) for the latter.
