Art books

Hey ok so this post is just a little blurb about art books. Now when I say "art books" I don't really mean like "how to draw" or technique style books. I mean like the art of Street Fighter or The art of Fullmetal Alchemist, books like that. Anyways I love these books and love collecting them. I would definitely say if there was any one thing I am addicted to it is art books. I have about 25-30 so a small collection to some and a large collection to others. These books to me however aren't just something cool to look at and possess. To me these books are constant reminders to grow and get better as an artist as well as a vast and ever expanding well of inspiration. Anyways I say all this to not only show my point but to share the books I have and from the list I am about to compile I ask if anyone reading this blog has any interest in a particular book let me know and I will post up a small little something about it with some pictures and some of my thoughts on the book. Anyways here are the books I have.
