I found this on sale for $20 (off from $80, which is pretty close to a fair price but still a lot of money) and have not regretted it since. Great deal for a lot of great art and cool sketch stuff! Admittedly, I only went in to this knowing Starcraft, but even the games I didn't know about were fun to look at.

This book will obviously appeal the most to big fans of Blizzard, like myself. But I also think that it's great for all and anyone who is interested in pursuing digital art careers, and especially careers in movie and video game making.
For starters the art in this book is absolutely breathtaking (well if you are into orcs, elves, trolls and that sort of thing). It encompasses World of Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft games. I could literally sit and look at those pages forever. Some pages are just basic pencil sketches while others are blown up, extremely detailed digital scenes. But it's not just the pictures, for they have artists sharing their thoughts and work process for certain pieces. My personal favorite is WEI, his illustrations are of something out of this world.
In short this book is full of massive talent and would be a welcome addition for anybody who has appreciation for digital game art.
