Art Books & VG Books

With the exception of a book about the art of Dragon Ball, everything here at the moment is video-game centric. I get this sort of primordial nerd glee to flip through the pages of the Mega Man art books, or any of the video game art books below, really. Heck, the Xenogears book is in Japanese, and I bought it anyway. Nerds with disposable income are the lifeblood of the world economy. Recommendations are in bold.
