Taschen also has stores in New York, LA, Paris & Cologne.

They publish some decent art books, and always at very reasonable prices.

Even better at $10 on pre-order from Amazon.com.

i believe this is a reprint of the book that came out a few years ago. the original was hardback, and i think this is soft cover.  it's on my list of things to order.

I have never understood how Taschen manages to keep its prices so low. I can guarantee that this book is a few quid very well spent.

Well, if you consider that the layout is the same throughout the books and that they are often printed in 3 languages...

I will say it's not bad for a guy who started it all by running a comic book store :)

I've got the original. It's filled with so many incredible polas. I'd like a soft cover to beat up...
