When this came in the mail today I had not anticipated the sheer size and weight of the book - it is Very heavy for a book may I warn you. I couldn't help but fan over it's pristine cover - and this was just the magnetic shell - the book itself was just stunning. (the product picture depicts the orange slip-on tracer cover as a solid color but you can actually see through the material.)It's definitely a worthy buy for it's price, and even more if you love the game and the art. It contains a lot of concepts, sketches and descriptions of all aspects of the design that went behind this game including skins, maps, ability effects, weapons, and more. As an art student striving to go into the field of character/game design myself, I find the process of developing an idea from the initial sketch to the final confirmed design is really eye opening and interesting. It inspires me to get in more practice and up my skill level. c:I would give the product quality a 4.5 if I could. I half expected the prints to be bigger, but they've got the same dimensions as the book. Was a little more disappointed when they were photos you could find online, but it doesn't matter much.The back cover of the book had a few light scrapes, and the short ends of the magnetic cover box don't fit perfectly under the magnetic cover. (it's a bit Tilted and the magnetic cover-box feels a bit fragile.) The slightly angled box sides don't hinder any storing or placement anywhere, i'm just picky with quality. It's not too noticeable unless you stare at it. I'd recommend setting it down on it's flat side so the weight of the book and the prints inside don't misshape the box any further.All in all, this is probably one of my favorite things I own now.Can't wait to read it over a few dozen times when I get the chance!
