As many of you know by now, I love to collect art books. In fact, I think it’s safe to say that my interest borders on a compulsion. I have a lot of really cool, and hard to find art books, and I’ve always wanted to share some of them with you guys.

For ages, I’ve meant to do some video flip-throughs for you, but always postponed it because I just wasn’t set up to do it properly. My tripod isn’t the right size, my studio is too dirty, my camera has a horrible microphone… you get the idea.

Well, I’m still not set up to do it properly, but I figured I’d do it anyways. What’s the harm, right?

I promise that in future reviews the video quality will be better, there will be less glare, and I won’t be breathing into the microphone like an asthmatic dog.

To start us off, our first book review will be ‘Elysium: The Art of Daarken‘. This book just came out a few days ago, and I thought it may be good one to start with since many of our readers will likely be hearing about it over the next few days.

‘Elysium’ is available for purchase on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Elysium-The-Daarken-Mike-Lim/dp/0956817130/
