Can't wait to see the data on the mobs,the weaponry, and the world art of book 1.

[Arika]

when can I pre-order this book? via amazon.co.jp ?
(the Eb-store.com, don't ship to other country than jp. so I can't order it there.)

If it's an artbook... it probably won't have to be... because, it will mostly just be pictures...

normally yeah, but this one sounds like it has info etc.

[Zantra]

Well, who knows... if it does, it will probably be Engrish.

[Witchblade56]

Hey espio do you know if this will be printed in english? If so I think i will be pre-ordering http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Dhylec]

The content looks promising. I am getting this book once it's out. ;]

PSO: The Book of Hunters, and PSO Episode I & II's art book (specific name I can't remember) both had sections detailing the world and a developer's interview/section too, although, nothing of the sort is actually listed here right now. It might slip in anyway, though.

[Arika]

So how can u book this one? any online shop?

Unfortunately, there has been no official announcement of this being published in English. Considering that none of the PSO art books were published outside of Japan, I get the feeling that this will be the same.

I've been checking with Amazon.co.jp to see if they've added this book for pre-order, but so far nothing has turned up.

[CherryLunar]

Thanks for the news update on the artbook. Heres one book that I'm definately getting. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Itoshi]

I dunno what to get, I've always been wanting to learn more about the story and art of PSO III and BB

They're being packaged together as a 2-volume set. I don't believe the PSU book and the PSO3~BB books can be divorced and purchased separately (at least, not at the moment).

[EspioKaos]

Still nothing at Amazon.co.jp on pre-ordering, however at the official Japanese PSU site, you can find a small section (http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=301) that was added about this collection. There are even a few sample pages; of note is one that seems to show some of Karen's early designs.

[Arika]

well, it seem no hope to order it outside jp than

[EspioKaos]

I wouldn't say that. Even if Amazon doesn't end up carrying it for some reason, there are other import shops we can order from. Anyway, I've contacted Amazon.co.jp to see if I can find out if they'll be carrying this collection. Hopefully I'll get a response soon.

[Jey]

btw.

AmazonJP's preorder page (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%82%B7%E3%8 3%BC%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A6%E3%83%8B% E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9-%E8%A8%AD%E5%AE%9A%E8%B3%87%E6%96%99%E9%9B%86/dp/4757735677/ref=sr_1_11/503-0211903-6140740?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177468799&sr=8-11) for the artbooks.

[EspioKaos]

Sweet! Thanks, Jey!

I actually e-mailed Amazon.co.jp about this the other day; just yesterday I got a reply saying that this book would be submitted for consideration, but that they couldn't guarantee that they'd carry it. Looks like things turned out for the best, though! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Jey]

It just popped up when I checked today, so maybe your mail is why it's there >D

Enterbrain stuff tends to get updated pretty late on AJP in general anyway.

[Arika]

cool , thx and ordered!

[EspioKaos]

Ordered mine, too. I just wish that we were given an option for shipping as opposed to only one choice. I hate that shipping doubled the cost of this book. x_x (I believe the same thing happened for Perfect Bible, though.) Still, it's worth it. And with the express shipping, we should have our books next week. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Ash1ey]

Ordered mine through special order on Animebooks.com http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif All you need to do is give them the ISBN number and they will order it
