Anyone getting the SNES or Neo Geo Compendiums from Bitmap?
Kinda bummed Amazon canceled the preorders..

Came to post that the Overwatch art book came out today but it looks like it's already been covered.
It's really nice! But what else do you expect from Blizzard

Yeah I love the OW book so much, glad I got the CE, I'll find somewhere nice to put the prints. Hopefully I can start buying the figures soon, waiting on that damn Tracer to come back in stock
Also dammit, I need that Cook and Becker XV book now...

Just ask customer service. They are usually accommodating.

Can anyone help with an invite to resetera or the discord channel?
Picked up The Hip-Hop Covers by Marvel a few days ago. Growing up listening to many of these albums, this book almost feels personal.

These came in the mail yesterday. I now have the complete set.
Not sure if you're still around GAF, but that's super nice of you to offer! I'm at an alright spot financially right now so I might just look into it myself, but thank you. : )

Anyone manage to find any good art books on Black Friday sale? Haven't found any myself but not sure if I've just been looking in the wrong places

Yeah it's sad to see all these community-type threads dead/dying.
Anyways, I'm not as much of a collector as some in this thread but I have a nice small collection from series I like.
Most recent pick-up is the Alice Madness Returns artbook, I know not a lot of people like that game but it's dark style is great no matter how you look at it

The latest pick ups I have gotten are...
The Art and Soul of Blade Runner 2049 (very good behind the scenes book)
The Art of Harry Potter (B&N exclusive) (All art work from the movies and huge)
The Art of Destiny vol. 2 (really nice book and matches the same size as Destiny 1 art book)
The Art of Star Wars The Last Jedi (Nice book that is simliar quality as RO and TFA)
I haven't been buying much this year as I'm trying to be more careful with my money. I do have The Art of God of Warand Art of MGS 1-4 on pre order.

Latest books have mostly been from collector's editions, but I did get the Akira Anniversary boxset which comes with a nice extra book full of behind the scenes making ofs and pages in progress.
Besides that I also have the art book for Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away, The Last Guardian, and Yoshitaka Amano's Sky series for recent pickups.
I highly suggest all of these if you love quality with some excellent behind the scenes interviews/insights.

It may be too early to post this, but if you don't know already there's a huge Metal Gear Solid artbook coming out in June. 800 pages long and it will cover MGS I-IV.

I have it preordered. I really like The World of the Witcher and BioShock Infinite. The Xenogears Perfect Works is one of my favorites. I also grabbed The Sky FF books when they went on sale, but otherwise I wish I had more.

Awesome! I have the Zelda Encylopedia LE on preorder already alongside Final Fantasy Ultimania - I may have to put this on order as well. Thanks for the heads up!

I own Okami and Mega Man anniversary art books so I am going with those. I feel like a Shadow of the colossus one would be gangbusters.

I was lucky to pre order this early and got the price drop at 48$ Even at 72$ I would still keep my pre order as 800 pages of MGS art is going to be crazy awesome to see in one book.

Didn't see that this had been announced a few days ago, not too pricey on Amazon so I might grab it

The nicest person on this forum
I’m definitely gonna buy this one when it comes out.

i HIGHLY recommend the new "the art of the god of war" hard cover artbook!
its effin amazing! works of art on any page, concepts that didnt make it into the game could be used to create a whole other game!
and its huge, heres a comparison with the collectors hard cover guide:
