This artbook is about the size of a manga book. It comes with a plastic dust jacket that has the text on it along with some chibi drawings and the barcode on the back. The color pages inside are made with paper that is better quality than regular manga paper, but not as good as say A4 size artbook paper would be. There are black and white sections featuring sketches and line art. The paper for those parts is similar to manga magazine paper, kind of like newspaper. Very satisfied with the artwork. It's so hard to find a book compilation of Akira Amano's art.
