As you may have seen on NaughtyDog.com, the developers of the 2009 smash hit UNCHARTED 2 have released details around the upcoming art book, The Art of UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves from Ballistic Publishing.
As described in Naughty Dog’s post, the Limited Folio edition is available in only 200 printed copies, but includes elite extra details beyond the standard paperback and the leather-bound Special Edition. The Limited Folio Edition of the art book is bound in black suede leather with gold-embossed cover art, and a matching hand-crafted, black suede leather-bound presentation case with a ribbon. Also included is a certificate of authenticity that have been individually numbered and hand signed by Evan, Amy, Robh and Erick. Each book is 272 pages and contains over 180 pages of concept art, and over 80 pages of production art and character models.
All three editions will be available this month and can still be pre-ordered NOW at Ballistic Publishing.
We gave Greg Miller at IGN a few of the first copies to show off and the result can be found here. For an in-depth sneak peek at the art in the book, as well as an in-depth look at each of the three print editions, visit the Ballistic Publishing site for an interactive book tour.
@ Triton, when I mentioned Australia, and overseas shipping, it was because the Folio Edition is shipping FROM Australia.
“Ballistic Publishing is based in Adelaide, South Australia” The NON limited edition books are being shipped to stores around the world, and shipping warehouses in the states, but the Folio Edition is coming straight from the source.
If you put the special edition in your cart, and the Folio Edition, you’ll see the Folio ships from South Adelaide, and the Special edition ships from the states.
Very cool.
@Rated-G has it right.
Ballistic Publishing is Adelaide based, and all Limited edition stock comes from here. Non-Limited stock is shipped from both Adelaide, and the US.
