If you know the name Yoshitaka Amano, you probably have a good picture of his art and his style. This book is filled with some really wonderful art. Like many I'm most familiar with Amano from his work on Final Fantasy. While some of that work is in here the majority of the art is from his other jobs and his original works. On top of that you get some good interviews which give you a great look at the man's long and storied career.
This book is perfect for the price and has an awesome array of artwork spanning Amano's career. It is paperback but comes with a slipcase cover which is the artwork you see on the product page. I've attached an image of what is underneath!
If you're a fan of Amano's art because of Final Fantasy, be slightly disappointed because that's only a small part of the artbook. I would recommend buying The Sky box set if you want all of his Final Fantasy works. However, Amano's work outside of FF is still top notch, and I was pleasantly surprised to see some of his sketches and some pop inspired out, stuff I've never seen from him before. There's also a couple of interviews worth reading. Overall a good artbook, but I wish it was a hardcover to match my other Amano books. Print quality is amazing and the colors pop.
This book was great and all, but there weren't a lot of Amano's dark illustrations nor sketches.but its a good start if you want to know more about the artist and his work.
