She soon realizes that she can never return to the world of twelve-hour workdays and greasy corporate lingo. But her dwindling savings force her to find a way to fund her dreams again.

Any true UY collector knows that when a hardcover version is spotted at a fair price it must be snagged quickly. Sakais limited editions go for a hefty price on the aftermarket--something which I learned the hard way.But theres always room for learning.The collection is an oversized tome with notes; sketches; official artwork; and other Sakai tidbits. The edition I bought was used; but it came in fantastic condition; and the price I paid made me forgive the tiny bends in the corner.However; I found that some of the full-page artworks; which originally were in black and white; had marker drawn over them! I know I shouldnt be reviewing a product based on my transaction with a seller; but I thought I should point that out as it seemed out of place.At first it seemed thats how it was done; that perhaps Sakai let his children or something color on the pages and decided to include them in this compendium. But they were too childish and no mention of juvenile coloring was mentioned; so I contacted the seller and they offered me a further discount. So I wasnt too muffed.Still; Im glad I own it either way; though Ive yet to finish reading it (there are a lot of details!).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A great book for newcomers and even better for fans!By Anita BuckowingI have waited a long time to own this book and Im so thrilled to finally own it. The format is beautiful; the content is incredible and fascinating; especially if youre a fan. This should appeal to long time fans and provides a great introduction to Usagis world too!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy KTGreat art and well presented!
