Ratings and reviews

The book itself is pretty nice. However, it won't let me download it so I can view it on my phone, eReader, tablet etc even though Google says I can. So basically I need an active internet connection if I want to see this. Which makes it pretty useless to me.

Most beautiful set I have ever seen! Glorious! Any video game enthusiast or even a book enthusiast or anybody really that enjoys beauty in all her many forms will enjoy them. Also excellent collectables for the kids or grandkids future or continued keepsakery. Well made, well put together, artfully tastefully and imaginatively skillfully done. Excellent. Thank you for your work and time. You put much effort and thought into this. Thank you for all of it.

Better than a hard copy, can see the beautifully amazing art work on the go, where ever you are. Don't have to worry about damaging a hard copy, can view double page illustrations with ease and can zoom in, to an actual larger size than a hard copy. The art work in this book is stunning, a must for 'The Legend of Zelda' fans/collectors and fans of manga art.
