Amazing collectable, great read

Got this after a desire to collect the 9-11 comics as my ending run in comic collecting, and I must say I am impressed with not only the size of it, but the consitent and diverse work inside.  Loads of unfamiliar work that perhaps wouldn't be seen on such a public level with such quality, and at 200 pages for the price its at, its damn good.
The stories themselves?  Some make you think.  Some make you wonder.  All make you remember.

Received this just last night and I love the collector's items. I chose not to look through the art book yet in case of any spoilers (***Update*** no spoilers in the art book!), do not plan to use the stickers (they look very anime, will provide photos), and the statue is really great - a lot larger than I anticipated. Many are stating the boy is to stand on Trico's head, but they were separated for packaging and I did not notice this is how it is to be displayed. I just tried to prop the boy up against Trico... will observe when home. I plan to provide photos when home. (***Update*** Trico has slots in his head for the boy's feet to be inserted. Whoops! Good balance, no concern of falling over.)

The faux crate/box it arrived in is nothing to write home about. It's not as rustic and battered as the picture shows. It's just paper, but I will hold onto it for collector reasons.

My absolute favorite part of this collector's edition, however, is actually the game case (pictured on the left of Amazon's photo.) The game case is steel and beautiful. It does not look like an average PS4 jewel case, it is very artistic. Inside you will find the game disc and a promo code for the soundtrack.

***Pre-Order***
With the pre-order I also received The Last Guardian PS4 theme as well as the "mini" soundtrack which is just 4 of the 10 tracks on the collector's edition soundtrack, so basically it's moot, but it was free.

Wow, this is really, really good. If you like to read - anything really - just go ahead and add this to your cart and you won't be disappointed. If you need more convincing . . .

The first two letters were a great choice. One is from Queen Elizabeth to Roosevelt, detailing her drop scones recipe that he enjoyed so much when he last visited. The next is one from Jack The Ripper to one of his investigators.

From there, it just gets better. It's hard to say why this strikes such a good balance, but it really does. This collection is curated very well, and you will cringe, laugh out loud, and really learn some things along the way. It's a really fascinating read.

Besides that, the book is gorgeous. It's an oversized book that will look great set out on the table, and would make a very good conversation starter. From Hitler's nephew to queens to serial killers to Louis Armstrong . . . the authors of these letters will interest you at every turn. Love this one, Highly Recommended.

I loved the two previous "Complete History" books byLes Daniels on Superman and Batman, but his book on Wonder Woman iseven more amazing.  Maybe it's because she isn't as over-exposed asthose other two superheroes, but there are surprises galore in thishandsome book. The still-gorgeous Lynda Carter contributes a lovelyintroduction, and just wait until you read the story of WilliamMarston, Wonder Woman's unconventional creator. And the stunningdesign by Chip Kidd showcases totally awesome toys, original art andeven photos from a 1960s TV show pilot I didn't know existed. And weeven get to see the legendary never-seen "Star Riders"toys. Well, I could just go on and on.  This is my favorite book ofthe year, and any fan of Wonder Woman (or Lynda Carter) will just haveto have it!

This thing is ridiculous! It's amazing! The Marvel Vault is a huge chunk of beautiful Marvel history presented in a very interesting and cool way! This is the perfect coffee table book for any Marvel fan! I don't know that anyone would call this a true collectible but it's just a cool thing to own period!

My sister  ordered this book for me as a gift, and I then ordered it for someone else. It is a great story, and the illustrations are beautiful. I highly recommend this as an addition to anyone's hard bound library as a collection piece or as a great read.

This has always been my favorite comic as I was growing up.  I lost track of it after it left the papers, and I am sad to say I had nearly forgotten good old Gary when I heard about this box set.  It is amazing.  I paid full retail for it, but it was still worth every penny.  This book is amazing, and you will not be disappointed.  From both the quality of the humor and the essays that provide intersting depth to what the Far Side was all about, this is a book for completists, leaving out only a small bit of material that was in the book Prehistory of the Far Side.  Also, unlike the Calvin and Hobbes Set, this has high waulity and stays together.  The pictures are on the materials, not lame stickers that fall off after putting it away once or twice.  This set rocks, buy it.

The book is really cute. It tells the story of Harry and the biography of Meghan.  A great new collectible!  I saw the Hardcover too that I am going to get!

Once again, DC Comics elevates the graphic novel to great heights!  The artwork and storyline, as well as the handsome production values, make this truly a collectible worth reading.  Especially interesting is the fact that, while written originally as a sardonic look at 1980's UK politics, it is shockingly relevant to today's global crises.

A great read soon to be released in an impressively faithful motion picture adaptation with Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.

I love this book!  Even as an over sized coffee table accessory!  It's gorgeous.  Each character is paired with art work, a short bio, and other interesting facts.  My boyfriend is a much larger comic nerd than I, so this book was purchased as a gift for him.  Sure, someone with enough knowledge of the Marvel universe may find subtitle imperfections in the book, overall it's a great collection.  In my opinion, any DK book you find is going to have flaws.  Though that is just personal experience.

This is the ultimate collector's set. I got this while it was a Thanksgiving deal on Amazon a few year's back, and I can't believe the prices have actually skyrocketed since then. If you were one of those lucky ones back then, treasure it, or list it on CL and make some money off it lol. It includes everything you could possibly want, from all the extras on the discs, to the box/packaging, to the map, and to the games and knick knacks they throw in there. This is one of those collections that you can fondly look back on after a few decades and appreciate.

This is such a wonderful, fun, plasticfantastic book! It has great essays from leading toymakers/collectors, amazing pictures and if you're nok hooked on designer toys after this book, I don't know if you ever will be hooked!

There also comes a little keychain with this book... I can't use it though. I don't want to "break the book", but it sure will be nice for someone else!

I have just bought this collectors book and I am very impressed with it.  The pictures are vibrant, the information is detailed, and the research is evident.  It gives the reader a great deal of information on the books, the toys, the history, and the upcoming film. I was glad to see that it didn't stop at his works but delved into the world of figurines as well.  It is a must have for any Tolkien fan or collector.

Amazing book, was blown away by how many of the iconic photos were captured by one artist.  The title is absolutely perfect for the collection, that's all there is to say.

As the editor of the 2016 edition of Warman's Antiques & Collectibles, I can testify first-hand that this book is a must-have for anyone who loves antiques and/or collectibles. The sumptuous photographs (there are many hundreds, all in full color) illustrate 2,500 different items -- complete with current values -- to suit any collecting fancy. Besides the traditional favorites like glass, ceramics, jewelry, and furniture, there are brand new categories in this edition: Beatles Pop Culture; Celebrity Collectibles; Children's Literature; and Mantiques. Over 40 categories in all, filling 800 pages. Author Noah Fleisher does a masterful job of bringing the past into the present in this excellent resource.

This is a beautifuly done book which truly captures the exquisite works of Ms. Bogart. This is a real collectible. I have collected some of her figures which I love to display and am saddened that they have been  discontinued.  I hope more will be done featuring her works (i.e.  crosstitch books,prints suitable for framing, etc.)  If anyone is aware of  anything of this sort, please advise.  Thanks.

CAME THE DAWN instantly became one of my favorite collections of comics.  Wally Wood was a fantastic artist and EC Comics were simply great.  Some very serious topics are explored in these pages without holding anything back.  I can only imagine how groundbreaking and controversial this would've been in the early 1950s.
