It's about the size of a Japanese manga (manga books in the U.S. is a bit larger than Japanese ones) and came superbly packaged from TOM, wrapped in plastic then bubble wrap, then paper. The book itself is beautiful, with full color pages of art. It's mostly all pictures, with just very small explanations (in Japanese of course) on each drawing. Toward the back are character sketches, with a few explanations on each one. If you are a fan of Bungou Stray Dogs like I am, totally get this book. You will not regret it!
