The Book
 
I was thinking of buying the Art Of Oddworld book(this topic is orignal) and was wondering what is so special about the limited edition copy.Besides the 100 dollars more.

The contents of the Limited Edition are no different - all the same artwork, text and quality. The main corporeal difference is that it's hand-bound in leather. The real difference in price is because it's limited and numbered. Rarity automatically makes something more valuable. :p

If you're purely interested in the artwork, plump for the paperback. For a book lover such as myself, the Limited Edition was a must. Also, the Limited Edition is more sturdy and will survive longer.

I really wish they'd have released the Folio Edition.

I wouldn't get the limited edition because of the price but I would get the hard cover over soft cover because it will last longer and its only 10$ more, in the end I decided on neither

for mr regular fan, the paperback is enough

for die hard fans, then it's the Limited edition

;)

For die-hard fans with way too much money, that is.

I'm getting it from a UK site, www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk, for nearly 26 quid, I can't wait!

That's much less than they were selling it on Ballistic!


I thought there was only a special and a hardback edition.

I have the hardback, and I keep it in the box it was shipped in. Woe betide it ever be in the slightest bit damaged!

I keep my limited edition in its box, but I refer to my hardback with great frequency. Removing it from and replacing it in the box that often would result in more damage than ordinary shelfwear.

The hardback edition has sold out! :o

EDIT: Hmmm, my surprised smilie actually renders as one of shame. Or oral.

Well on Amazon UK I think they still stock the hard cover versions, I'm not sure though.

I ordered the Art OF OWI and it should come in about 1-3 weeks.
Edit:It came and it was well worth it.
