I'm a huge Lost Planet fan (possibly the biggest along with Adamazing and BTHR Zero).
Anyways, this art book is nothing new. It was released in Japan only, and I had one imported. What's different about this one though is that it's signed by some key members of the team, including: Wakazono - Designer (left), Oguro - Creative Director (center), Hosokawa - Planner (top right), Kawano - Art Director (bottom right).
To some of you this probably means little, but to me this is a book full of the ideas that became the game I've litterally poured over 5,000 hours into past three years (single player demo started May '06). Ever play that perfect game? One where everything feels like it was built for your tastes from the ground up? Lost Planet is mine. =D

Yay! I'm glad you got it back. I was worried it was lost, or they just forgot about it with all the work they're doing.
