  Studio Ghibli's "The Art of...." SeriesPost Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Address Go to the top of this page

Does anyone know where I can find "The Art of...." books in English? You know, like The Art of My Neighbor Totoro, The Art of Kiki's Delivery Service, ect. I can find some of them on Amazon, but others, like Nausicaa for instance, are nowhere to be found. I realize that they are out of print, but they have to be sold somewhere.

Now that i think about it.... I haven't been able to find any English version of those, I got the Japanese version during one of my trips to Akihabara *-*

I also got some Ghibli stuff all the way to my house in Mexico from this site www.cooljapangoods.com

So I tried asking them if they could find "The art of Nausicaa" art-book (14 hours ago), and for my surprise, they found not one but TWO of them:

This is the first one (also the one I own) ^^:

http://www.cooljapangoods.com/the-art-of...7_408-1308.html

Now. This is a newer version (Maybe different? o.o):

http://www.cooljapangoods.com/the-art-of...7_408-1309.html

The second one also have more pages (207) and its a little bigger (in terms of size-of-page)

They are both IN Japanese, so I guess this was not what you were looking for, I hope it helps a bit if not, you can always be more specific on the request ^^;

Enjoy~

Some years ago (2 or 3) I bought two books from Amazon: The art of Spirited Away
and Nausicaa (Watercolor). Everything ok (and I live in Argentina...)

The first book mubay posted is the one I'm looking for, but I was hoping for an English copy. I can easily import the Japanese one, but the English version is nowhere to be found!

EDIT: Just to clarify, the Watercolour one is not part of "The Art of...." series, and it is readily available in English on Amazon. I've seen pictures of it and it looks beautiful.

Come to think of it my Art of Nausicaa is in Japanese, too. I don't think it's been translated.

I have The Art of Ponyo, so beautifull. I got it from Borders, not too bad of a price. They also had The Art of Spirited Away, but that was too expensive for me. Ha ha now though all Borders here are being shut down!

In Australia, Madman releases the books here, the same company who does the dvds.
