I bought this lovely artbook two weeks ago from Amazon.co.jp, and I must say that this is probably greatest single fanproduct I have ever seen. Weighting over 224 pages, this book contains illustrations from nearly every game series that Capcom has published since 1992. From Captain Commando to Quiz Nanairo Dreams this book has it all. Although focus has clearly been on more rarer games that don't have their own artbooks, there is also lots stuff from more popular series such as Street Fighter and Final Fight. Every series has at least two pages dedicated to it, and most illustrations take full page, meaning that there isn't nearly any text. Great stuff.

Is this the first one? This place allegedly has stock:
Not sure if that's just an open order etc.
VGI have it in stock too for about £35.Last edited by anephric; 18-05-2007, 13:39.

I've got both books too. Well worth the money. Be careful though there are a lot of dodgy ones on ebay.
For reference the Capcom Design Work Early Days cover is printed on 'prismatic' (not sure if that's the right word!) paper which you should just be able to see on a decent photo. It should have a black and orange obi strip
The original Capcom Design Works cover is printed on textured paper which you probably wouldn't be able to see on a photo. This should have a red and green obi strip
I would take photo myself but I've only got a camera phone and the quality is a bit pants.
www.otaku.co.uk have Capcom Design works in stock for £27.99 (not sure about shipping)

Only use i find for them is valuing stuff, simply have a look at their price for something then knock a good 20-30% off to work out it's real value
