More About the Author

Clamp, stylized as CLAMP, is an all-female Japanese manga artist group that formed in the mid 1980s. Many of the group's manga series are often adapted into anime after release. It consists of their leader Nanase Ohkawa, who provides much of the storyline and screenplay for all their works and adaptations of those works respectively, and three artists whose roles shift for each series: Mokona, Tsubaki Nekoi, and Satsuki Igarashi. Almost 100 million Clamp tankōbon copies have been sold worldwide as of October 2007.

Personally, I think this is the best one out of all three.
If I could, I'd give it way more stars than this.

This book contains pictures that are in the manga and not in the manga. This book is 100% authentic manga. It also has artist notes about the pictures, which are in English. It also has a double sided poster with Syoran and Sakura on one side, and Tomoyo and Sakura on the other. This book also includes a mini comic of Syoran being sick.
A good collector's item for a ccs fan.

Having already gotten the first Cardcaptor Sakura artbook, I was thrilled to receive the second one for Christmas. This time around, there were pictures of everyone (except Meilin, who if I recall correctly doesn't appear in the manga and therefore cannot be expected to appear in the artbook). Some of the pictures of the guardians (such as Yue and Kero) were absolutely stunning and I think I like this book even better than the first one!

The comic at the end was a wonderful tie-in to the comic in the first artbook, acting as sort of a sequel to the vignette seen before. This time it features Sakura and Li, and the pullout in the back of the book is a reversible of Sakura and Li and then Sakura and Tomoyo. Some of my favorite Sakura images are in this artbook and I consider it well worth the investment.

The entire artbook was printed on high quality paper, versus just the images like happened in the last artbook. It seems a little smaller, especially when you hold them side by side, but the layout is the same and the pictures are just as wonderful. I highly recommend this, as it makes a great present for any fan of Cardcaptor Sakura, especially those in love with its art!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for fans of Cardcaptor Sakura, September 24, 2004

This book is very nice. It's filled with nothing but CLAMP's artwork from the CardCaptor Sakura manga (CCS for short). If your a fan of CCS, or CLAMP, or manga in general, then chances are good you'll like this book a lot. There's also a cute short comic at the back and a little fold-out, double sided poster.
