Halo - The Art of Building Worlds: The Great Journey Hardcover – October 18, 2011

9/10 this book doesn’t really waste a page I feel like. I’m so happy they didn’t cram any 343 stuff in this book and let bungie’s legacy shine all the way on every page with a pretty good informative analysis of each thing in the pages. must have book for any above average halo fan. They didn’t go into to much detail at all about noble team they didn’t even show carter or really any images of the interior buildings of the installations or guilty spark concepts. But still a really solid book worth the money just would of made it perfect with that for me.

I'm one of the biggest Halo fans I know. I've been a fan since I was 10, back when Halo: Combat Evolved first released. It's been one hell of a journey. I don't collect many things, and though my most expensive hobby is definitely my love for cars, Halo might be second on that list. So, when I found this product on amazon, it didn't take much time for me to add it to my cart, along with a few other Halo books/art books.And I was so glad I did. I can't really go into detail about it. If you're reading this, it is likely you're a big Halo fan, and the only question in your mind is "is this worth $25?"To me, the answer is unabashedly yes. But I'm an admitted Halo-fanboy. I love the art, the music, the characters, the story, the gameplay, the canon, the history. This book is just another cherry on the lovely Halo cake. And I love cherries!

This is a great addition to my art book collection. Came 10 days earlier than I was expecting, thanks Amazon.

My sister loves the series and is an inspiring digital artist. She loves the book with all the background of the areas and characters.I noticed little details like there are images and text that are glossed but not the whole page. The inside covers are background art, there is even a nice looking engraving in the cover under the dust jacket.

I am a halo fan, and I’ve never been to much into collecting the art books but seeing as this was on sale , I gave it a try and I am not disappointed . Some of the pictures make me remember when I first played the game all that time ago and all of the pics are detailed and cool.

The book itself is gorgeous, big, heavy, and loaded with glossy full color pages. It is absolute eye candy.I’m docking a star because the dust jacket was half covered in a sticky substance, which I think was hand soap. It soaked the bottom edge and caused it to be warped. No damage to the book itself but this was a gift for my son. It was shipped by Amazon so someone knew they put it in the box like that. Pretty disappointed. I was able to get the sticky stuff off with a damp washcloth but the warping damage is still there.I would have tossed the dust jacket but it has an illustration and the inner book cover is black. It’s part of the presentation.Amazon, watch how you pack things, please. Other books in my order were jammed and edges were ruined.

Great book covering art from the classic Halo era.Highly Recommend

My husband and I are long time Halo players - it's part of how we got to know each other, so this was a perfect gift for him!
