I would recommend this art book to all my friends who like this series. It is a cute book with adorable art throughout the book. You can really start from either side, one showing the axis boys and the other the allies and in the middle you get the lovely satisfaction from all the other main characters. It has some notebook like pages with sketches in which are to die for! It also has some pages (written in Japanese) on how the coloring for the art work goes which is really amazing! it came quickly all the way to Australia and it was amazing packed with some extra goodies! would buy from here again and I'm very pleased with my order.
