5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Lara!, May 28, 2000

This review is from: Lara Croft: The Art of Virtual Seduction (Paperback)

It's Lara Croft revealed! For anyone who's been searching for a photo album of Ms. Croft, this book is worth checking out! The book is in a magazine style format with numerous (and gorgeous) full color photos of Lara as well as two of the "real" Lara models. It is also jammed packed with information about the "Tomb Raider" game as well as a little of Lara's background and some other things she's been up to in the past! A book to be treasured by any devoted "Tomb Raider" fan or those simply interested in the world of virtual animation.

I have owned this book for years. I still think it is the best.

Packed full of Lara, Lara, Lara...*sweet sigh*

I could not ask for more.

If only they would make another based on her these days.

A girl can dream.
