I've always been impressed with the artwork with Warcraft, so books like these are always a treat. Although this one didn't have as much artwork as the first artbook the released "the Art of Warcraft", it still made an impact.

The book I got was in excellent condition, and when I looked through it. Wow! I was blown away. It's extraordinary. Such and incredible piece of art! There is so much to learn from the artists in it, and it'll be such a great inspiration. One of the best books I have ever bought!

Actually I had bought the first concept book from blizzard and loved it. And when I found that it was available through amazon I was relieved becuase it was part of limited edition package. But anyhow the delievery was quick and I am pleased with the art. Alot to look at and get inspired from.

It's a book that gives great inspiration. It's a great piece of work and it's now one of the main books in mine and my bride's collection of concept art. Is stunning to have the root art of a such massive and beautiful game.

The major problem of this book is that only could be obtained by the Collector's Edition of the World of Warcraft game. And with little luck, that someone was getting rid of his one to be able to buy it.

It is a shame that Blizzard does not put to the sale the art books of the collector's editions of his games, since they are an authentic delight for fans and for professionals of the way.

I personally am a HUGE fan of video game art books. This book has over 200 pages of wonderful artwork. It exceeded all of my expectations. It has everything from in-game graphics, to rough sketches of weapons. Some images even have some amusing notes from the artists. Again, a most for any collection. Makes a great coffee table book.

This book is a fantastic display of artwork. Anyone who enjoys conceptual artwork will enjoy this book. The hardback cover makes it a nice collectors item. The book itself has sketch work, as well as full color renderings, and everything in between. The amount of detail is amazing. The artists at Blizzard definately know their stuff, and it clearly shows in this book. A great gift for any fan of Warcraft or conceptual artwork in general.

This book has a few scattered pieces of very nice concept art, but on the whole I was dissappointed. A lot of the art is pretty sloppy, even by "concept art" standards. The most dissappointing part of the whole book though is the presentation. Many of the images have the pixelated look of low-res digital art that has been blown-up way beyond acceptable range. Also, the binding is coming apart on the book I have despite limited use so far.

If you are a fan of World of Warcraft, this is a must have. Some of the most beautiful and inspiring game art I've seen in a while. Dont miss this one.
