While alot of the people in this guild collect art in commissions what about other forms of collecting art, specifically art books!

*A* I Love Art Books, I'm a collector of them. i recently spent 180$ for 6 art books, and then 50$ in shipping for them. ?v? EMS from Japan is expensive. (i got 132pts for the order from Amazon japan though! thats 132 yen! or $1.32 USD that i can use twords my next order :M )

I Buy Them even though i can find scans online. Truth be told i've never consciously though "support the Artist". I Buy them if i like art. I have a collector Personality and i like having the physical object to hold. In fact if i can find scans of the images online and i like them I'm more likely to purchase the art book they come out of. Also if i'm a fan of the series or artist i'm gunna want to buy the art book.

Recently i was dieing to own the Shugo Chara illustrations collection *A* because i love Shugo Chara! and to pad the order to lower the shipping per item i also got Noizi Itou Second Illustion collection, Supper Lollipop by POP, 2nd Collection , Unity Marriage Visual Guide Chu x Chu Idol art book Little Buster Illustration collection

*A* Such a Moe order, while the ones i listed are all Anime art books it's not limited to them. Any Artist any where at all if i like there art i want there art book.

I actually was really disappointed when an artist i really liked didn't have an art book OTL i would have bought one from them.



it's 12:30 AM i can't sleep forgive any type-o's and please point them out, so i can correct them.
