What does the text say?
Sorry about all the questions, I'm a sketch addict.

All the text in the book is Japanese I am pretty sure. The will pic actully says Willow over the foreign text. But I am pretty sure Jo is Japanese so it would only be natural for her to want to have the book printed in her home text. If she is not Japanese forgive me for misstating.

Well, she's from Taiwan. No clue what they speak there.
-EDIT
The description says "Text is Chinese."

And Jo is Taiwanese, and her last name would make her ethnically Chinese (I've the same last name, at least in terms of the Chinese character. Regional dialect makes the pronunciation completely different). |

This sketchbook is pretty decently priced. If I were a Chen fan (er...I'm not, sorry). I would definitely get it. It seems like there's all kinds of nifty stuff in it. I've paid more for artbooks with less goodies in it. I mean 140 pages of art? That's awesome. $45 is a good deal.

I'd get it for 45 if it was a predominantly Buffy book, or even if the text was in English instead of chinesey. I would just like to be able to read it too! I think it looks lovely, but I'm not a Runaways reader and I don't follow Chen's work per se, just her Buffy covers (Which albeit are amazing they just don't seem worth me buying this book when I already collect her covers & keep them minty!

Yeah. I once paid around that price for an artbook that was in Japanese. A month later it came out in English and I was so pissed. Lol. I love your banner btw! |

That would be great if an English version came out! But I reckon it's highly unlikely  And thanks for liking my banner set  |

I ordered the book when it came out, very nicely done. I loved her covers for the Robin series too, and Runaways. The fold out in the art book was AMAZING!! I loved it the most probably. Its like a poster about 4 pages wide. On one half its a guy (more animesque looking) who's surrounded by a branch of cherry blossoms - then on the other half it transitions quickly to a black dead branch with a gothic looking Zooey Deschanel girl with black wings - totally awesome.

Would you (or anyone else that gets one) be up for posting a picture of the book? I'd love to see what it looks like. I'm very jealous!

Anyone who shipped the book to Europe and can tell me what to expect, shipping cost wise?

You could probably just e-mail Chen directly for that, as she'd need to calculate postage specific to your location.
