Some one please help me with this. I can't find this any where to buy. Its under AB's people entry. I am kinda okay with directly importing something, if possible. Thanks.

Problem with this item is that it was produced in April 2001. Fanboy Inc was the publisher and the ISBN # is 0967983215

This was produced domestically and is out of print. I have seen copies available in Japan before. Heck I got mine for above retail price in Japan. I don't like recommending any auction service however this may be the only resort. Sad

What is this? An art book?

Yes. It was one of the first domestic attempts at an art book. The neat thing about Essence was that it had translations for a lot of the footnotes that ABe included in the collection.

There is a nice page about his books here.

Abel- trying to repair his HD.

Thanks abel. I looked on eBay (as a last resort), but couldn't find it. Yeah, i know its a bit late to be trying to get this. Whatever, the only other artbook of his that i've managed to find (nonauction) is the haibane one.

I'm tempted to say that for this, your better bet would be a good comics shop, rather than an anime/manga store...
