Artbooks for sale! Cheap!
I've decided to sell some of my artbook collection to fund some new ones I really want. I'm selling most of these really cheap. These artbooks usually go for at least 40% more at conventions, specialty stores, and Japanese bookshops. The links for the various artbook go to webpages which should have info on the artbooks.
Some of the sites I've linked to have artbook review sections by people who are very knowledgeable artbook collectors and the first places I go to when I'm thinking of getting a new artbook.

L'arc en Ciel Live - 1999 Light My Fire Tour photobook
$60
Rare and out of print. This large hardbound oversize book is very heavy - 2 kg or 5 lbs! It has 190 full color pages of backstage and tour photos from L'arc en Ciel's 1999 Light my Fire tour. Just pages and pages of oversize color photoes of Hyde, Tetsu, Ken, and Yuki to drool over. There's a section for each of the band members, a backstage section, and a live show section.

Rare and out of print. In great condition. This is a fantastic book for all Escaflowne fans. It has colored character illustration and stills from the anime. It also has a gorgeous set of sketches by Nobuteru Yuki of all the characters. This includes some sketches you won't see anywhere else, not even in Nobuteru's doujinshi Escaflowne artbooks, like the complete royal family of Fanelia posing for a portrait. There are also staff pictures and interviews including a set with Miki Shinichiro and Seki Tomokazu acting like dorks while playing with mini Gymelefs. The book is in good condition with some dents and wrinkles on the book jacket.

It's oversize hardcover with 174 pages. Of the pages, 47 pages are colored illustrations and 66 pages are yaoi manga and sketches.

Lovely oversize yaoi artbook by Narita Minako which features her "Natural" series. I bought this because ofblankpapers's review on it with which I totally agree.
