Why not? It's google books!

i found this in 08. you can browse the book before buying, but its smaller, so you cannot read most things. you can see the pictures fine, though.

EDIT: whoa, AiN's link is better.

Josh 12-27-2009 10:27 AM

AiN''s link only goes up to page 56. I'm assuming more will be added soon...?

Grieva 12-27-2009 10:39 AM

I dont think more will be added, its a preview, i bought the art book after reading though it a while back

Wil 12-27-2009 11:36 AM

It is legal, Ballistic gave Google permission to have low-quality scans of some of the pages. More will almost certainly not be added.

In my opinion that would kill the whole point of the art book. You could probably get most of the information that's included within the artbook on the internet already, a PDF version would be pointless.

Having all the art and information in a pretty book is what makes it special...

Lol. This.

Yes, I have some copies.

I've noticed this only now... and I couldn't ask HOW MANY COPIES DO YOU HAVE, Wil? And why? :confused:

creeper.

Who said anything about information? I'm talking like 3000x2500 (or higher res) images. I'd rather get something that won't decay with age.

MA 12-27-2009 02:15 PM

well the bible was written by that Jesus bloke weren't it, and that's been around for like a million years. that aint decayed.

Wil 12-27-2009 02:40 PM

AiN, I have three.

STM 12-27-2009 03:21 PM

Wil 12-28-2009 03:24 AM

OMG, really?!

Besides, he'd do that even if there wasn't a book involved.

Wouldn't we all?

Wil 12-30-2009 03:28 PM

My lap specifically? Golly, I'm flattered. *blush*

Nath 12-31-2009 03:35 AM

I looked through my book last night for the first time in about 2 years. Wow, that's a long time. Brought back good memories.

Sekto Springs 12-31-2009 08:59 PM

Holy shit. Nath posted.
I should say it's been about 2 years, you bastard. Why are you never around?

Nath 12-31-2009 11:57 PM

I didn't realise I was being missed. It's been a very very busy couple of years. And I'm ashamed to say this, but I started to forget about Oddworld :O so I came back to rekindle the spark I once had.

Damn. I feel such a fool.

Taco 01-02-2010 06:21 PM

Ballistic Publishing ship to Aus right? Does anyone know how much postage is and whether or not it's registered post?

Also, welcome back Nath. I don't know you but you're a 2002 member so I imagine you're a legend around here..

Wil 01-02-2010 06:37 PM

Ballistic Publishing is Australian, odds are if they ship anywhere, it's there.

Taco 01-02-2010 06:42 PM

Holy shit, so they are... and they have stores in VIC. mind blown...

moxco 01-06-2010 03:54 PM

I actually bought my soft-cover edition at some book store in brisbane for only $50 AU!

Dipstikk 01-08-2010 05:15 AM

It's somewhere in my closet, I'm sure.

The one I bought was located in Italy, how is that possible?
