The book is beautiful! My son loves it. It has more in it than he expected which is great. Definitely worth the price!
I have never used this site before or even heard of it before I ordered this book. I had previously ordered it from another site and it was a pre-order which is fine. But I waited and was given no updates and never got the book. So to say I was skeptical on this site, especially since it was cheaper than the other one....But I took a chance and ordered it. It arrived quickly since they had them in stock. I was shocked how fast I got it! It is in perfect, brand new condition. I would think it would be used with the name of the site, but it's not it's brand new. My son is thrilled over this book. I will definitely be back to buy more books!
Incredible insight to the show and its creation!

Came in perfect condition, love the quality of the images and book itself. Although I really wish Caitlyn and Vi were featured more (as they were some of the most important characters) I really love the details this artbook offers about the creation of Arcane, and all the hard work that went into its development.
Great purchase

UPDATE: after 3 months the book got delivered (no warning) and it's incredible, great quality especially for the price, just wish there was better communication from the site that's all
Old: yeah looking at the recent reviews isn't comforting, ordered this over a month ago and its still on back order, i don't mind long waits if its guaranteed that I'm getting what i purchased, just hoping this isn't $50 down the drain
Book is great!

After almost 3 months I finally received my book in mint condition! I only wish that they had been more upfront when I pre-ordered my book that there was a big chance it would be on back order; I don’t mind waiting but a heads up woulda been nice :/
(Edit: apparently that was a publisher issue, so my b for faulting the website!)
I hope everyone else who’s been waiting a long time gets their books as well (or at the very least a refund)! It’s definitely worth it ^^
Gorgeous art book for Arcane!

Okay, elephant in the room, I did pre-order this book and yes , it did take a long time to arrive, I didn't know it was going to be back ordered either. However I think that it was a publisher problem because this book was back ordered everywhere I looked after the release date. But to the book, this is an incredible art book for the show, lots of the art process, character building, color studies and story boarding, and some game history. About the only thing I could wish for a bit more of is the pencil studies of the building architecture, exterior and interiors, but that's personal preference. Maybe my favorite bit is it's a good big size book, so the details & colors in the art get a chance to shine. Excellent inspiration book!
Love the book but a bit damaged
Published by Lynn , 2 months ago
I love this book! I wasn't expecting it to ship until the re-stock on the 28th so it was a nice surprise to get it earlier. However, the pages at the bottom corner are a bit warped when closed so the pages don't lie flat in some areas. Could be because of a binding error or movement during shipment.
Incredible!

Yes, it was a long wait, but giving this 1 star because you had to wait is not a review of the actual book. This is an incredible book. The art and story is amazing! Well worth the wait! The added features of posters I can frame and put on my walls - chef's kiss!
It worth it!

I purchased the book in November or December, and it was finally delivered a few days ago. The book looks perfect—no damage at all. I couldn’t find it cheaper anywhere else. Love it!
After Pre-ordering in November- It finally got delivered today!

I have seen a lot of reviews on here asking about when it will be restocked and such-I too was disheartened after waiting almost two months past what the delivery date was supposed to be. However, the wait was definitely worth it and the book is fantastic!
Backorder
Published by Tine , 3 months ago
Is there any update on when this will be restocked? No email updates on what’s going on why have this book available for someone to “buy” when it’s not in stock and hasn’t been for over a month now.
Order still has not been filled
Published by Rozzle , 3 months ago
I placed an order 12/28/24 and got no tracking or update about this order still. I don’t mind waiting if it’s guaranteed to get the book but the lack of communication as shown in these reviews is troubling. I know I can always charge back on my card to get the money back and would suggest others do the same if they still have no book in hand or updates.
not recieved

Been on back order for a long time with no updates, if it isnt available pls just give me my money back dawg
You won’t get the book
Published by AngryArcane , 3 months ago
Ordered 11/30 for preorder. It is now 1/19 and I haven’t had an update. Either give me the book or give me my money back. This site needs to figure out if they are going to ship the book or not
