I'm not sure on that. I'm very careful with my books so I'm not sure if it isn't just a case of others mistreating their books (although I do have some comic TPB's that have literally fallen apart in my hands, at the slightest touch). The binding seems pretty solid. There's nothing in the inner sections of the pages, so there is no real need to open the book too far (thus causing stress on the spine).
The stuff on the official company's site is the MSRP, while the price on ebay/amazon/wherever, are massively overpriced. It's the same book, just some folks are getting greedy (200 bucks for an artbook is a bit much). I doubt it'll be available on capcom's site (they'll probably send you an "out of stock" email if you try to order). Capcom should really do a second printing.
I'm happy that they released it here in the states since the Japanese version is even more expensive(!). There was no way that I was going to drop 50-60 bucks on the JP version X_X
@Treasurefan02 unforuantly im from the uk where i cant get a copy without importing it.... i dont mind about that ( and you know what i came really close to buying one yesterday for $130 but i cant pay that sort of cash... even if its for okami) D:
might sound silly but i ant watch your video as it might push me into buying it at that high price :D
I remember the book was only going for 25 bucks when it first released, but I just checked out the prices for the book and the amount it's going for is stupidly high. People are getting greedy. I'd recommend at this point to download the scan of the book since the publishers won't get any of your money regardless since they discontinued the book (it seems), and it's better than dropping a massive amount of money that could almost cover the cost of a game system(!).
@Treasurefan02 you know what i didnt even realise tht this book existed until a few months ago. and lwhen i irst started looking at prices it was qute low but i didnt hae a card for onlne shoping... and now just weeks later he real rie its being sold at is lkee $130 - $250 is what ive seen... i agree with you i could buy a ps3 with that money
Yikes, that is massively overpriced. I noticed the Flamboyant, and art of udon vol 1 artbooks both go for crazy prices now (unless they re-released them).
@DavidWasHere1991 I suggest looking into the Official Complete Works book for Mega Man Zero. I don't actually own it, sadly, but I've seen alot of the art from it, and it looks almost as good as the one for Okami.
I've no idea since it hasn't come yet. I think it'll be in English, but I'm not sure. I'm praying it will, because I've had pretty bad luck buying it. i.e five different amazon sellers all eventually emailed me saying they didn't actually have it. I'll tell you what I think when/ if it comes. xD
OMG! I just ordered one and I hope it's in English and I got 1 email from Amazon that they didn't have it... Hopefully both of us will FINALLY get the book :)
It's come after seven months, and I love it, thankfully, it is the English version. I'm so happy it's here! My favourite parts are the location pictures and character concept sketches.
wish i could buy it off ebay but i'm not allowed to use a credit card @_@ it looks soooo cool (beat the ps2 okami 23 times and currently beating the wii version a 2nd time and counting)
@Treasurefan02 the book is beautifully illustrated and crafted..truly a piece of art I am completely satisfied and Ill treasure it forever... ;)

Check out your local bookstores/comic book shops, and see if they can special order it (you may have to prepay for the book).
