There are some items I find it easier to just use a search engine and add "Amazon" to the search string.

I've ordered from Pixel Crib (to New Zealand) multiple times and I can recommend them, I don't think it was exactly the same immaculate packaging as Bitmap directly, but I received my books in good condition, for a good price, with good postage cost and shipping time, and they send email discount codes pretty often. I had actually started ordering from them instead of Bitmap directly already.
Good looking out. Think this is the first book I've gotten from iam8bit so hope they do well with packaging.
The huge Frazetta book from Taschen arrived today. That was really a steal at €75 including VAT and shipped for free.
Tremendous volume with gorgeous print.

Taschen books in sales are really must have for these discounted prices
Almost dropped the Gustav Klimt onto my feet yesterday. Taschen XXL volumes are gorgeous yet absolute hazards.
The colors in the Frazetta artbook are a little strange. I'm used to the printing in the Icon/Legacy/Testament trilogy, which are considerably less saturated. However, previous volumes have more text dedicated to each painting.

In Amano news, a new interview just dropped. I liked the unusual questions, definitely worth a listen.

Takeaways:
- Takoman, an octopus hero first revealed in 2008 is still due for release (Old thumbnails from Dark Horse).
- The 100-meter Greek mythological painting is roughly 10% complete.
- A world tour is in the works, starting with Brazil.
Just a heads up for UK peeps who were reluctant to pay silly shipping costs, the Dark Souls Trilogy Compendium 25th Anniversary Edition is available to preorder on Amazon UK for £47.85

Persona 5 Royal artbook. Releasing March 28.

Bruuuuu
I already have like, 3 artbooks for P5 (Jap, US and French)
I hope this time they won't cut content from Jp to US books...
I dunno.... what are the odds that the price of this one skyrockets like the Journey artbook?
$125 is wild for an artbook. What the hell.
I was randomly surfing to Taschen's website and saw that they are selling NFTs? Have they been doing that for a while?

I know that at least a subset of people watching this thread might find this interesting to know about them. So I though I'd share.

LMAO at thinking about the kind of person who would buy this book at this price point. Imagine, of all the interesting art books that Taschen puts out, choosing to buy this one, and having THIS be your bougie coffee table book?

If I ever met someone with this book, I would LMAO, and then GTFO.
Just wait for the Taschen sale :P I certainly don't see these flying off the shelves.
Hey, it's a scam. Just like NFTs. Gotta hand it to Taschen for taking advantage of goobers.
this was my first thought
and this was absolutely my second one, yeah
old sega books suck when they do show up now, still lucky i nabbed that art of metal gear one last year or so. shit's bananas
It's a weird one since there are a bunch that go out of print and shoot up in price but also a bunch that end up on a super sale/promotion on amazon.
I sold that Future Press Control book for over $300. It's a really nice book but for that kinda money when I paid $60 and it might get a reprint?
I Art of Outer Wilds artbook is available to pre-order at iam8bit from tomorrow

https://www.iam8bit.com/collections/outer-wilds/products/the-art-of-outer-wilds-hardcover-book
I can't see a preorder button? Page title says preorder but I can add to basket. Just says coming soon.
Edit: sorry, in my excitement I missed "from tomorrow".
I was surprised to see a Skull & Bones book just released, too. Only one I did buy in the last little whole is the Jedi Survivor book.
Going to be an N64 heavy year for me with this and the Analogue 3D hopefully shipping this year.
Ouch. I'm a huge fan as well, but that's a lot. I'm guessing there's no chance of a wider release.
Yikes. My total was $80, which is still a lot for a book. But I do love that game.
Yeah I'm happy to spend a decent amount of money, and I have a large collection of game-related books. (Mostly books about gaming - rather than artbooks - which I'll post photos of on here one day...would people be interested in that for inspiration on titles that might interest them?) But I can't justify that much on this.

Yeah the shipping to Australia sucks as well, but Outer Wilds is my favourite game and I've been desperate for an artbook for years. Didn't have a choice really. Grabbed the Echoes of the Eye vinyl and Collector's Edition with the bag too, whoops.
Anyone in Europe interested in the Outer Wilds book, Black Screen Records are selling it too and the shipping is far cheaper than iam8bit. At least it is for me in the UK so hopefully it will be for everyone else in Europe too. I dont have any previous experience with them but they seem to be legit.
