Question The Art of Oddworld

Do alot of people have this book, The Art of Oddworld, the last ten years 1994-2004, if you do have it, what version do you have and is it good. Don't spoil to much. How long ago did it come out. Does it have any pictures of what Squeek might be? When you order it, how long does it take for it to come in? Thank you for your time.

I imagine it came out in 2004 to early 2005. It is very good, and definitely worth the money, and I only have the soft-cover kind.

If you have an extra 50 bucks, I'd definitely buy this book.

The book came out before SW did, so there's only a little bit of imaging on that game, notably about the intro, the atmosphere of that, etc. Full coverage of previous three games though. As well as nice images, lotsa text, too. As in, text you will want to be reading.
You have to be careful with it...don't wipe dust off the pages with your hand, use your sleeve. Otherwise it sorta goes sticky-ish-something.
An awful lot of extra info and details in there. Good for drawing Oddworld characters and speciess, though.
You won't believe some of the original monstrosities they came up with for Munch...

I am hoping it for Christmas. I have been wanting to draw some oddworld characters. Yet, have not found the right ideas and such. This book will surley help.
I am so eager to see these previous ideas for Munch, Ha!
Also, for first starting to draw Oddworld people, species, other interesting things. What are easy to start with. I tried drawing Abe's head once, and it was horrible and that discouraged me.
Oh well.
Thank you all very much. I can't wait for this Christmas to give me so many new Oddworld goodies (I hope)

WOW that book sounds awesome! Its sounds really expenise but I bet it is worth it. Man! I was really hoping it would have squeek in it. Oh well. As long as it is in the category of oddworld I would probably enjoy it. No wait. I KNOW I would enjoy it. It sounds really cool. Know alls I have to do is to get it LOL. Well mabey the price will lower in the future but i Highly doubt it.

Well, the price is averagely 50 bucks. but as said before, it is worth the money.
And oddly TayTay, that's almost the exact reason I bought my copy of the book. (although I still suck at drawing Abe...)

How long ago did it come out[?]
Pre‐sales for The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants began at 00:30 UTC on 2004‐09‐15. More importantly, while it may perhaps have been an appropriate description, I don’t think either OWI or Ballistic had the foresight to subtitle it The Last Ten Years.
