Ooooh, that P4 artbook is rather tempting, anyone know if it's any good?

I've seen scans of it, but pretty much it's like altlus's pre-order artbook that came with Persona 4, only bigger and better (about a little less than 200 pages) some of the contents include a full pose of each character's portrait when they do an all out attack. plus character designs, rough draft translations, and more posters of characters posing together.

I actually have that artbook, a remnant from my days as a GameStop wage slave. Not a bad book, just felt it was lacking in binding quality. Would have preferred a more durable binding since the paper is rather thin.

Being i couldn't get then at the time in Japanese, I'll defiantly snag all 3 once they come this way... wish they'd do the same for some of the other Persona related art books and stuff out there..
