Osamu Tezuka Art Book just came out!

Post by Gallennon »

We just got at my store the Art of Osamu Tezuka: God of Manga. Oh my gosh it is absolutely beautiful and so worth the 40 dollars it goes for. I really want a copy, but need to save money. But figured I let everyone here know if you like Tezuka, this art book is a must have! It even comes with a CD.

I just got a copy of this yesterday. Looks really nice so far. I'm glad that I know the names of all of the Tezuka Star System characters now. The DVD contains a 45-minute NHK tv documentary on Tezuka.

Not sure why your copy was $40. Amazon has it for $26.40:

That's the cover price, $40.00. Amazon does cheaper plus charges shipping, so does B and N.com.
