Now I'm super hyped, I can't wait for mine now!

I have Friday off from work so I'll be stalking the comic book shops obsessively until the courier truck comes with the shipment hehe

Happy Holidays!

Thank you very much to all who made it possible.
Infinite thanks especially to our Sensei Sakai without whom all of this fun would not be possible!

The book came out GREAT !!!!

A lot of rarely seen Usagi art.

I did like the 'vellum' chapter dividers.

Now I can't wait for Stan's next local appearance !!!!

Hello to all,

I was lucky enough to get my Art of Usagi book a day early!

I'm very impressed and delighted with the overall presentation, I especially like the water-color image on page 105. Thats maybe one of my favourites. With repeated viewings I know I'll grow to love the book even more as I've only really scanned thru a few times so far and haven't had time to digest it.

Amazingly when I walked into the shop today, there on a shelf staring back at me was Usagi himself! My comic shop had just gotten in the Usagi PVC figure so immediately my christmas bonus was slowly getting spent hehe But it had to be a sign?

Well worth it though.

Many thanks & praises go to Stan Sakai for providing all of us fans with hours of entertainment, knowledge of Japanese history & culture through his art & storytelling of Usagi Yojimbo.

Thanks again Stan! Congratulations on 20 years of doing Usagi.

Cheers to another 20 more!

It looks great - I'll order my version off Amazon as soon as my current order (UY books 5, 15, 16 & 17) comes (any time between June 28th and July 2nd).

I was thinking of getting it with book 13 (and book 1 if im lucky). I would like to order book 19 too but that isnt out in England until August 1st.

Of www.amazon.co.uk it is £15 which is just over $28.
From what I hear that is a good price here in the UK, is that a good price for you in America? I'm sorry for the other European fans, I dont know the Euro rate.
