Seems a bit small
I had expected a good amount of art from both the final product and concept stages of the game to be there. What I got was tad disappointing at least in the amount i was looking for. The Art work is fantastic for what is there, and you don't need to be fluent in Japanese to see some of the concepts they decided to throw out. The interviews on the other hand do require some proficiency with Japanese or decent search skills to find the translation on the net

Inspirational Artbook
First I'll say that if you are an artist or a fan of art in any respect, then this compilation of designs from Dark Souls is for you. The art from this game is beautiful and this book shows and proves on that perfectly. One of the best art books I've purchased in a long time. Personally, I prefer art books that have a lot of rough sketches and ideas and Dark Souls Design Works is full of that. I've read others saying that they hated the fact that the book was made up of a lot of rough sketches but that's the whole point. The work in progress is phenomenal and it was great to see certain characters and locations in their early stages. Once again if you love art then this book will certainly satisfy.

Great Art Book
The Quality of eveything is what you expect for Japanese Quality. The paper the color the lay out. the composition of early work and finish is balanced so you will see both of them. while the only downside is it's japanese. you may not care about it if you didn't want to read the interview. by the way, good job the game is great and the art book is also the same. worth every penny.
