I love Valkyrie Profile, and I figured this book was a couldn't miss. It collects every piece of art I've ever seen for the series, includes screen shots, profiles, and more--but just seems to be missing a great deal. I think other fans would have been more generous with their stars except that this lavish set costs SO much that it feeds that long-suffering anguish for this kind of book. Basically, for those of us that splurged looking for a sure thing, this fell short. I think the oversized volume (look at the dimensions!), heavy stock paper, high quality production, dust jacket... it all just contributed to the price and really worked more against the book than for it, which is just a shame. I still give it 4 stars because it really does provide a great deal. But when it comes to bang for your buck, this doesn't quite fit the bill.
