Yoshitaka Amano is one of the world's foremost fantasy artists, and this tremendous boxed set of five books gathers his ethereal illustrations for Final Fantasy games I-X. The Sky is divided into three softcover volumes, each printed on high-quality stock. Volume 1 (144-pages) contains Amano's work for Final Fantasy I-III, Volume 2 (276-pages) contains his contributions for Final Fantasy IV-VI, and Volume 3 (156-pages) features art for Final Fantasy VII-X. The fourth book in the boxed set, All About Yoshitaka Amano, is a smaller softcover. Its 128 pages include an interview with Amano, information about his work, a bibliography, and a visual index of each illustration that appears in the three Sky art books. Completing the set are an acetate print, two postcards, and a 96-page The Sky Premium Flipbook that lets you see two examples of Amano's art in motion, all fit snugly inside a hinged, decorated box.

Pretty expensive art book, but probably well worth it....I hope
Yoshitaka Amano is....I'm not familiar with that author.
EDIT: That last sentence just made it soooo epic!

That does sound pretty awesome, though I'd still like one that focuses on digital paintings of the more recent FF entries.

By the way, Amano is the guy who did most of the concept artwork for the FF series (as I suppose can be inferred from the description). It usually goes through quite a transformation when translated to the game itself, but some of it still makes it in the form of character profiles (FFIV-VI) and the logos for each Final Fantasy entry.
