It has been said that the art book will not be in the collectors edition.
As far as i know even Regina confirmed that

**Lukas Esch** · September 25th, 2009

Oh holy!
That's GREAT!!
I love this pictures and i can't wait for the game!
Great!!

**Wasker** · September 25th, 2009

Bought and bought!

**Gaius** · September 25th, 2009

Very inspiring work.

SO much so I have ordered the art book.

**Tonic** · September 25th, 2009

Does anyone know where I can buy this book in Europe with Paypal? Only shop in North America accepts it, but shipping would cost 30$, like how much book costs.

**Ragnar X** · September 25th, 2009

@Dahami -this book will not be included in the Collectors Edition. We released it early for a reason. I have no details on the CE but this book was put out during production because we want people to get it now and explore our creative process, there's a lot more concepts for the game that did not make it in to this book, and surely a lot more before the game is done. The hope is that if this book does well, we'll release another with new art etc. Concept art is a huge part of our game creation process at Arena and we really want to share that with everyone alongside the game. So, if you like the art you've seen and would like to see lots more, pick up a copy, you'll enjoy the book I'm sure

@sabin- is it still not working for you? I asked around here, but if there's a bug we'd have to send it to corporate

@wizzo still looking into this.

**Align** · September 25th, 2009

My book has just been shipped.. I'm so stoked right now, can't wait for it to arrive

**AphexTweak** · September 25th, 2009

Absolutely fantastic work. The art work makes me want to go play the game right now. Thanks for sharing with us.

**Dahami** · September 26th, 2009

Ragnar X, thanks. I'll look into ordering a copy.

**The man with no name** · September 26th, 2009

**Krato** · September 26th, 2009

**domo arigato** · September 26th, 2009

**richarddoble** · September 30th, 2009

amazing work!

**kMh** · October 2nd, 2009

After what felt like a millennia I finally received this book yesterday. I have to say it is some of the most stunningly beautiful work I’ve seen. The whole lot of you are insanely talented. And not to take away from the others in the least but Kekai you are my damn hero. Thank you all for such an amazing book, I can’t wait for the game.

Also, thank you immensely for making this book affordable unlike so many art books out there. Times are rough and many of us are broke.

**Dr. Stein** · October 6th, 2009

Got my copy of the book through the mail this morning - stunning work guys! Personally, I've no interest in playing MMORPGs, but the art here is pure inspiration, oozing from every page. A must-have.

**LuckyDevil** · October 6th, 2009

Great stuff here

**Sublimus** · October 6th, 2009

Oh shit! Time to order that shit!!

**Headhunter** · October 6th, 2009

Cicinimo, OMG!You are just insane, maaan!
Amazing job to all! I am gonna buy this definitely.

**Dahami** · October 6th, 2009

Mine just arrived. I notice that it's about the same length as the previous Guild Wars art books, but a larger format so I can see more detail in the images.

I think the quality of the art in there is better than what I see in the books Alien Race and Exodyssey, which makes me think that a real project may tend to produce better concept art than a "practice" project.

Now I wonder if there will be another art book in the Collector's Edition. That and a soundtrack of Jeremy Soule's wonderful music would make it worthwhile, plus maybe some flaming hands or something for when my character is dancing.
