did you try clicking in the url bar and pressing enter? sometimes it does it for me because stuff loads and pushes me up but doing that will send me right back to the first unread post

interesting. of course this time it jumped right to this post but maybe it depends on load times. will try your suggestion next time!
Got my Art of Crash 4 book in today from Amazon. It was undamaged, thankfully. Books that are shrinkwrapped seem to fare better. It's a very pretty book, lots of colorful illustrations. It's a pretty thick book, too.
Picked up Tenchan Sawagi, the first doujinshi of Yoshitaka Amano. This was released in 1985 and contains the first paintings for the Angel's Egg OVA and Guin Saga novels. Like the sequel I posted a while back, this was probably sold by mail-order or at events. I love getting to see those super rough sketch pages.
I also picked up the limited edition DVD set of 1001 Nights. The film is widely available online. However, I will try to make the booklet and bonus "video museum" disc available on archive.org.
Thanks! I'll keep this in the background while drawing today.

I received the smaller version a few days ago and it's really nice.

Hopefully they make a book out of it like they did for the oral history of SF2.
Sorry it's been a while.

Looks like it's happening:
Damn this thread! Just bought Anime Architecture after telling myself I don't need it for weeks, but then seeing that amazon was already out of stock, and then panicking, and then ordering two (one as a gift) from another online store that supposedly still has it.My personnal best off 2020 :
Mana Books (french) Sekiro Official Artworks :
Full format, hardcover, sublime inner dust jacket with the world's map, even more beautiful cover and FromSoft art goodness inside. Yes all around.
The art of Death Stranding :
Shinkawa god tier character design and painting with a whole lot of bloodborne tier of horror material. I think its a must have along the game.
Anime Architecture :
Just released, instantly became one of my fav this year. It hits right into all the anime movies I grew up with, its a superb object and a fascinating read. Can't recommend enough
The limited edition is drop dead gorgeous, and so ingenious with the cel-like case. I'm jelaous, but only a little, since I recently landed this beauty for a discount price since it has a little dent on the cover. But the offer was so good, I couldn't say no:
Robots 1:1. R.F. Collection. Life-size photo repros of tin robots with their packaging (if it's still existant). Since it has to be as big of a book as the tallest robots, the thing is massive. It also comes with a little USB stick in the spine, with a 15min video of most of the robots in action.
They just released another book with more of the same collector. It's pricey though.
Space Fantasies 1:1 R.F. Collection
The publication »Space Fantasies 1:1« presents 146 space toys from the collection of Rolf Fehlbaum, Vitra’s chairman emeritus and the founder of Vitra Design Museum. The objects and, when provided, their packaging are shown in their original size, as in the book Robots 1:1, published by Vitra...

Woah. Those two books are right up my alley. Wish I would have known about that Robots book.Damn this thread!

post up above reminded me that titan never announced the CE version of the Death Stranding artbook and probably never will and what a surprise it's unavailable on the book site i'd trust most to deliver it to me undamaged so i've probably missed out on it now
Is it even out yet? I have it ordered form Amazon but I haven't heard anything more about it. I've just assumed I'll get it when it comes out.
my order is with bookdepository (admittedly its another tentacle of amazon but it's a seperate process afaik)
i'm not preordering shit off amazon anymore, or ordering if they don't have stock. too many times my shit has been stuck in limbo or they take my order and then months pass with no word.

Where do you guys live? Something I ordered on Amazon comes in stock, it's at my door in two days.

For that price, Miyazaki himself should knock on my front door and throw it at me T_T
Does anyone own the Resident Evil VII Document File that Dark Horse published last month? I'm thinking of picking it up and need some impressions.
He will throw it at you then proceed to burn all your anime collection and calling it a mistake.
This is also available for 25000 yenes on: https://www.donguri-sora.com/products/detail.php?product_id=10018
(I don't know if they ship outside Japan)
(I need this)
I was gonna wait until it got here, but I actually emailed the Anime Architecture author, Stefan Riekeles, and he's shipping me a copy of the book, signed! He also just posted on IG that you can DM him directly if you are interested. Price is 65 EUR.
And he has some copies of his previous publication Proto Anime Cut Archive, which Anime Architecture extends from. He mentions it on his website at https://anime-architecture.org/
So I'm getting copies of both and they will be signed directly from him! Will definitely post pics when they come in!
Thanks for everyone who mentioned it in this thread. Would've loved to get the limited edition version but those are long gone lol.

It's sold out in a lot of retail stores but the author has some in his personal possession that he'll sign and ship out to you.
Not 100% certain. I saw it mentioned in this thread a couple months ago and when I finally decided to look for it, it was sold out everywhere. On a whim I went to the website and emailed him and he mentioned he had some copies left.
There was a "limited" numbered edition of 1000, but also a non numbered edition. I would assume the non numbered edition will get more made but I also can't say that for certain. With how many art books we have seen blast off in price I don't think it would be a safe assumption even if I don't see a reason why it wouldn't just turn up in stock again as well.

Ah, I see. Massive price hike on the LE, eh.
I've preordered for now but I think I might just skip it, ultimately. Can't really justify the cost.
Oh shit an artbook based on the Capcom vs. Tezuka art exhibit got announced & releasing in April for about the equivalent of $25.

<i>Capcom vs. Osamu Tezuka Characters</i> Artbook Announced
One of the coolest things announced last year was the " Capcom vs. Osamu Tezuka Characters " art exhibit, which opened its doors on October ...
Has anyone gotten the Art of Capcom 3? Is it a good mix of franchises? I got the impression the first 2 volumes leaned heavily on Street Fighter.
Nah, it's all Street Fighter. 😂
There's a small bit of things like Breath of Fire and Captain Commando. A decent section of Mega Man, and A WHOLE LOT OF STREET FIGHTER.
"Our Pac-Man book will be fully revealed next week! Back in May we announced that we were working on a new Cook and Becker book, this time on iconic video game character Pac-Man. Since then, this project grew bigger and bigger, and our team has been working full force to bring the first-ever, official retrospective on the yellow muncher to fruition. Featuring hundreds of unique images and 40 in-depth interviews with key figures, the newly titled 'Pac-Man: Birth of an Icon' will be a landmark video game book! Pre-orders start next week so stay tuned for the full reveal!"
This will be neat to check out, especially if they go into detail into some of the sequels like the 3D era titles.

Batman: The Animated Series- the Phantom city creative collection
Batman Animated
Looks like these have slipped right under my nose. Does anybody here own either one of these books? The Batman Animated one looks better to me, but its also much older and harder to come by. Is it worth buying second hand on ebay?
Thoughts on the Phantom City collection?
