World of Warcraft 6-Volume Art Book Collection

0/5 ( ratings)

Since 1994, Blizzard Entertainment's blockbuster Warcraft franchise has been one of the most recognizable names in video games. This stunning six volume set includes art from every single game from the beginning through the recently released World of Mists of Pandaria. Fans of the franchise will love seeing the gorgeous concept art paintings, cinematic stills, character models, sketches and prototypes, and even fun bonuses like Blizzard Christmas cards from years past and selections from the trading card game. With 1,184 pages packed with detail, notes, and insights from the creators, this is an absolute must have for any true Warcraft aficionado or anyone who loves gorgeous fantasy art. 2002's Art of Warcraft is the only softcover edition in the set with 176 pages dedicated to Orcs & Humans, Warcraft Tides of Darkness, Warcraft Reign of Chaos, and a preview of World of Warcraft. Next come The Art of World of Warcraft from 2005 and The Art of World of The Burning Crusade from 2006 both in glossy hardcover format. And lastly 2008's Art of World of Wrath of the Lich King, 2010's Art of World of Cataclysm, and 2012's Art of World Mists of Pandaria in deluxe hardcover editions with dust jackets. These books were strictly limited editions that were available only for a short time with the launch of the respective games, and are very rare now. While some of the individual volumes come up for sale from time to time, the complete collection is impossible to find and well worth acquiring.
