First of all I need to point out that when I first got my book from Amazon and it was not..well. The Spine was already ripping out
and pages were already getting torn out and I emailed amazon and they sent me another book right away (with a 50cent charge for
shipping at UPS) and they gave me 30 days to return my book. I was happy with my purchase and the customer service Amazon provided
and the new book that was clean and brand new..
Now that that is out of the way..Let me start talking about the actual book. It's amazing and if you ever wanted more from GG
and this book gives you so MUCH more...GG archives offers...
- Beautiful Promotional art

I'm Really satisfied with my purchase. I love Gungrave.. HARD and it's my favorite series of ALL time for it's epic story and art
(I got into gungrave because of the anime though, not the the game).. Do yourself a favor because if you love Gungrave You'll really
Love this one

It's kind of silly but I bought this book only for a small picture of an exclusive sculpture done by a great sculptor, TAkayuki Takeya. It is said that this sculpt can only be seen in this book. Unless of course you know the guy that owns it. I must admit that I do like the drawings. Very nice.

The amount of content in this book is boggling.
The details and posters and artwork and text are all incredibly good.
If you're a fan of ANYTHING Gungrave, this book covers it, plus more.
An excellent purchase.
