It's an Oddworld

Book world Limited art book re-release of the classic gamers' favourite

In conjunction with the re-issue of 2004's Art of Oddworld Inhabitants, Ballistic Publishing has released 100 collector editions, which include a numbered certificate of authenticity, lovingly hand-signed by its creators Lorne Lanning and Sherry McKenna.
"Since Sherry and I founded Oddworld back in 1994 we have eagerly anticipated the moment when a densely packed and finely printed Art of Oddworld book would find life," declares Lorne, "and this collection of work reflects the intense artistic effort that has gone into the creation of our heroes."
Offering 256 pages of storyboards, design sketches, fully rendered characters and environments from all four main Oddworld games, the Folio Edition comes in a handcrafted display case, with an attached purple ribbon bookmark, for the princely sum of $290.
If you're too late - or skint - for that version, don't worry, there's also a leather-bound limited edition, and a hard and soft cover available. Get more details here: www.oddworld.com/firsttenyears/index.shtml
