Do they sell this at Boarders or do you have to order online?

Because I really want this book to add to my ever growing collection of art books. I have The art of Star Wars the original trilogy, EP1 and EP2, The art of Alien, The Art of Lord of The Ring, and so on.

I also have an art book called "The Last Ship home" which is incredible. I need this Spectrum to add to my collection of Art Books. I myself am working on a story or an art book based upon my own fantasy universe. So I love collecting these books for inspiration. I am sort of building a library of these art books.

Well, I got some christmas moolah, so I went to Borders and looked for The Art Of ROTK. It wasn't there, so I got Spectrum 10!:D Awesome book. I wish they would've had the OW art a bit larger on the page, but oh well. I'm glad to have this book with my collection.

What section of Borders did you find it in. Im just wondering so next time I go there I can see if they carry it, or have it in stock.:fuzsmile:

It would run under the catagory of "Science Fiction and Fantasy"

I was there the other night and I picked up Spectrum 10 and Spectrum 1 which is just as spectacular as 10 I might add. No Oddworld Illustraitions in Spectrum 1 but its still pretty fantastic.

I still need "The Art of Return of the King." And I shall pick it up soon. Hey Al I can't wait until "The Art of EP3" comes out. What about you? I have "The Illustraited Star Wars Universe book and it has all the Illustraitions of Ralph McQuarrie from the original Trilogy plus Ep1 and 2 I can't wait till 3. It was that book "The Star Wars Universe" which I glanced at way back in the fifth grade that I said to myself "Thats what I want to do!" And thus ever since Ive been hooked for life as an artist.:D

Thanks PA! I was leaning towards it being under that category like the ROTK and SW Art books, but wasnt sure. :fuzsmile:

I am looking forward to the Ep3 art of book. I also liked Ralph McQuarrie's art from the original trilogy a lot. Probably my favorite is the Luke and Vader, original Bespin duel. Anyways, that Stranger artwork is in the spectrum book right?:fuzconf:

Yes, there are two OW pics in the book. One new piece with Stranger, and the other is Glockstar and Slig Vallet. In addition to that, Raymond Swanland(Works for OWI) has four other pieces in the book. Atonement, The Blessing and The Fall on page 74 and 75. Also, Bed of Ashes on page 170.
