I dont want to link people to high prices and additionally there are so many places that sell them other than amazon to link all for each contry would be a very time consuming issue not to mention the possibility of them becoming dead links if the ite is removed

Yeah that's why I suggested the ISBN number because if you stick it in google it'll find all the info available and doesn't link to anyone place

I like this format
Did you decide to drop hardcover?
I know most are hard cover's but a rare few are not


It must be just me but I prefer picture then text as I can see what I am reading about
Also when fast scanning a page I can see a pic of what interests me and continue down ; instead of heading back up
But the format for CE seems to be info then pics
So guess I'm the minority

Art books?
Hey
So I went too titan books
(Makers of art of ac3, halo 4 , dead space
Then found this out

Art Of - release list and reviews

Then I thought
Does coma really want me to spend 2 days and just copy what's already there?

prob will do one for art books but in a good while will concentrate on guides and normal db stuff for the moment, if anyone else wants to take on the art books though that cool

[comaamen86]

i dont think there as many lmited edition variants of art books compared to strat guides which almost always seem to get ce versions these das

did you not click the link?
problem is there are what 2 publishyers for strat guides
piggyback and brady games

the art of books
there are lots of publishers as some developers tend to make there own and get them self published
so it becomes harder to stay on top of
and that site i linked to has a list of all current art of video game books (official only i think)
and if i was to make one it would just be using there site or book repository as the wealth of knowledge
so seems a bit of just a duplication thing

had a look at the link there are others like art of dead space 3 collectors that was limited to a thousand

but what i am thinking is making a thread for all collectors books ie zelda sonic to beef it up a bit and rather than have just art books cover folios as well etc
every collectors book that is not a strat guide
