Philosoma - Official Art Book http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b77794117

I'de like to get my hands on this. Philosoma isn't exactly all that fun to play, but it is incredibly interesting and exciting the first time through because of all the story elements and such.

Super Aleste scan1
50MB for first folder of a dozen or so pages

here I tried to make a PDF of all that I've scaned so far
Unfortunately they have a sample stamp from the trial software.

it was packed-in, but Gradius II x68000 has an art book. I have two (because of two copies of the game) >_>

Yeah, it sure is awesome - makes me wish Compile would get together again and make another Aleste with fully realized graphics and cinematics.
Muneo Kubo and Sami Okazaki are credited for the comic. I think Muneo Kubo is also credited on the SFC game box as well.
here are scans of the dust jacket, including short artist profiles

I would have sworn I'd scanned a bunch of the Radirgy book, but I can't seen to find it on my computer...

I do have a portion of the INH Shooting Love book scanned, here are a few pages.

Here's a batch of 300dpi scans from the interview section of the Shooting Love book. (50MB)

And does anyone know a free software to make multipage PDFs, one that won't watermark the pages?

Gonna be a while; if at all, as I'm hitting the road tomorrow, and don't know when I'll be settled again.

I don't know of any but you should upload every page

Might as well add Psikyo Collection Vol. 2 to the list. It has a bunch of art from Sengoku Blade.

Photobucket would work.

Photobucket would work for what?
I asked about making multipage PDFs so I can upload one convenient file so folks can easily flip through the pages.
Will Photobucket allow me to combine all the individual page files into a single file?

It appears to me Photobucket would require that I upload each individual page file, and if someone wants to save to their computer, they would have to save each individual file. Rather than one optimized file containing all the pages.

You can upload 3 files at once with photobucket, and if that still doesn't work, you can always just rapidshare/megaupload the pdf file.

I need my Tadayo art!

Sorry, Sven, I was lazy and didn't read the description

It says "Attack Special" on the two top books, but I don't know if that indicates strategy guide or what...

Gamest Graphics Vol. 1 is the only ESPRade official settings book. It's got other cool shit in there two. A few pages devoted to Gigawing.

Keio Yuugekitai: There is only one artbook. There's a strategy book (only a few drawings) and two novels if you want to read. The art book linked above has a Saturn CD which has a shooting stage cut from the game. I posted a video of it ages ago.
EDIT: I'm referring to Katsugeki-hen on the Saturn, FYI.

Twinkle Star Sprites book

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 8:59 am

If you're including doujinshi there's the whole Ikaruga series by Can't Hue, and C-Cube.net has done quite a few Cave and Ray series books. All very short, all very hard to find.
