Uh huh

The site also has scans of Infinity, but I like to OWN artbooks too so scans don't "do" it for me.

This should scare you:

And someone has actually BID the asking price @_@
So glad I was able to get that book, legit, via JPQueen for far less than that!

61 bids!

Two good artbooks to get for cosplayers would actually be the Magic Knights Rayearth Materials Collection, and the Sailor Moon Materials Collection... why these two, and specifically for cosplayers?

Because they are chockful of design sketches that would make designing your own costumes a literal breeze, since the sketches provide reference points from all angles and go into so much detail.

btw apologies for the lack of photos in my reviews. There used to be but I didn't transfer them over to my new domain as the intention is to eventually go through and provide more details photos of the contents of the books (instead of the cover art, which is all I had before.)

this is a little off topic but do you guys know that Whitcoulls has started selling manga?? The Cuba Street one has Gentlemen's Alliance vol 1 for $12 (there was only one copy when I saw it this evening). I was tempted but my sis has it already so I'm holding off for something I really want.
