Yes it is smaller, but looks great!
Mine fell out of the shelf and made that dent, but i'll survive.
This is our collection of gaming art books and guides (plus a couple of issues of Scroll magazine). The plain black book between Soejima and Tomb Raider is the Skyrim art book. That's the only one I had to go on ebay to buy as a birthday present for my wife. My two favorites are the Bloodborne guide, and to the left of it the Bayonetta guide which I got from Amazon UK not long before they became really hard to find and very expensive.
Target has these for 14.99 (Cheaper than Amazon).
Really nice quality, especially for the price.

Getting my Bloodborne book next week! So amped.
Realized only after the fact that this Udon release was paperback, is it good? Also, does a hard cover version even exist?
From Tank Girl to art-pop phenomenon Gorillaz, Jamie Hewlett is one of the most energetic pop culture figures of the past 20 years. This TASCHEN edition, Hewlett's first major monograph, gathers more than 400 of his artworks, including strips, sketches, and works from his Saatchi Gallery show in 2015, to celebrate a polymath artist who refuses to rest on his laurels, or be pigeonholed in any particular practice.
So I meant to upload pics of the kirby artbook, but my phone's camera sucks. I really love it though I know some people would be dissapointed because there's no text or commentary, but that's just fine with me. It covers almost every game (unless I missed a section for obscurities like Tilt and Tumble) but still has little bit's for things as obscure as the anime or the Kirby cafe they did a while back. Just back to back art mostly in color and I really love it.
Mine hasnt shipped yet but its so close.
Not mine.
It still says: "Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ar...a-new-era-a-new-shelf.1086/page-4#post-511746is the Last Guardian an actual artbook or is "just" a collector's guide book with some artwork thrown in there?
Does anyone own The Art Of Mirror's Edge Catalyst? Is it good?
Paper seems good, pretty standard. There are some good comments from the artist describing his thought process, but not for every characterTo people finally getting the Persona 5 art book, how's the overal quality relative to other art books you have? Cover, paper quality, binding etc? Any dev commentary inside?
Thanks for the detailed feedback. I only played the game for a few hours but I love the art direction so I might pick it up down the line.I have this book and it's alright. It's almost 200 pages filled with environment, characters, story boards, and concept art. Some of the art also looks to be from the first game. If you're looking for some in depth behind the scenes you won't find it here. Most of the work is promotional material or late concept art where they had most of the details finalized. Not much text and if there is text it's usually just a description of the character pictured or a blurb about the story/world.
I ended up getting it for free during that amazon audible promo so I'm still happy with it. I really like Faith's design and most of the futuristic environment art. The book is published by Dark Horse and is good build quality. However, I did receive it with some stains on the back. Not sure if it was amazon's fault or done in production. It looks like the red color from another book bleed into the back of my book on the white part.

Really enjoy it myself, not reading much of it due to the fact I havent had a chance to get far into the game yet, but I love all the character sketches and such so far. Also the page count is ridiculous, I didn't realize it was like 450 pages.
amazon uk just updated my order saying it's being delivered by the 9th so hopefully you'll get a similar message.
That's a bummer. I had this happen with the very first art book I ordered, except the corner was crushed so hard all the pages in the entire book were bent and there was a knife cut on the cover. It seems in your case at least everything inside seems intact.
Same. I wasn't into SMT back when it originally released and now it's expensive as all hell. I guess that makes sense because Nocturne is the most popular game in the series.I would do unspeakable things for Kaneko Works III to be re-released.
I only own four Artbooks. Have to say if that's the cover that is really nice I love the picture of Ezio.
Non Video Game artbooks:
Neon Genesis Evangelion Der Mond Artbook
If I were to buy only 1 Eva artbook would this be the one to get?
There seem to be a bunch which isn't surprsing.
yes or Die Sterne : it's a collection of all licensed art made around Evangelion so it goes from soundtrack cover to telephone cards deals or characters promoting canned coffee. It's actually pretty amazing because it offers tons of characters art, sometimes in universe sometimes a bit out lol. It also has some few pages with very different art style from the original. In the end you have full pages key art made by Sadamoto himself, for the printed manga : these are absolute perfect.
I overall like Die Sterne a lot because it feels like a fan book with great art of characters in different setting than the show. It's almost like a slice of life peak at the off screen part of the show.

:'( still angry about not just buying the japanese version while it was still in my hands. Didn't find back to the right Kinokuniya in Bkk that had it in stock.
Thanks for the detailed reply!
Die Sterne sounds cool but I think Der Mond is more up my alley, I've seen a sample and I really like those awesome full page pieces of art. Sterne sounds like it has a lot of cool stuff and curiosities though. Tough choice.

How text heavy is the Japanese and English editions of the Persona 5 art books?
Similarly, how much English text is in the Shin Megami Tensei IV art book?
Thinking whether to pick up the English or Japanese version of these. Leaning towards Japanese as it's easier for me to acquire and I am mostly interested in the art.
Got my Kirby book today, really cute and seeing all the NES/SNES era artwork/sprites definitely took me back to my childhood. Can't complain at the price of only around like $27 I paid for it.
Now I can't wait for my Megaman Battle Network and Gravity Daze/Rush books to come in this weekend.
Got the NES/Famicom: A Visual Compendium by Bitmap Books and OMG, this thing is amazing.
