Like a collection of large detailed scans of the original b/w art covers for each comic book.
Would anyone be interested in this sort of thing?

I was just thinking this past week that I'd love to see a collection of all the covers, b/w on one page and colored on the facing page. Sign me up if such a book ever gets made.

So, at approximately 250 covers (we're at series issue #232 according to the most recent issue, and I'm sure there are some covers not included in that count) plus all the covers for the trades and Sagas, some extra pages for the double page spread covers, plus Space Usagi, plus non-Usagi covers, so I'll just say 325 covers. Let's double the page count to accommodate black & white/colored versions (and for the painted covers, maybe one page of completed art and one page of process pictures?) so that's 650 pages. I'd love some commentary so would add on another 100 pages or so to accommodate that, which puts the page count I'd want at 750 pages.
With The Art of Usagi Yojimbo coming in at around 200 pages, that puts us at almost 4 full volumes (by the time volume 4 got released, I think there would be enough additional content to fill it out). Gallery editions are a bit larger (~250 pages), so could likely fit all the current covers in 3 volumes, but then it would be a longer wait before we'd have enough material to fill another 250 page volume.

3A did not do as well as expected last year, so canceled much of their projects including the Usagi figure.
