The Art of Dead Space: Designing a Nightmare Hardcover – January 1, 2008

The dimensions were in the product specs, but I made the ASSUMPTION (derp) that this was like a typical "art of" book, which traditionally is large. They're supposed to be conversation pieces that dominate a coffee table. 15"x9"-ish is what I expected. It is not an unreasonable expectation.This book is like a miniature book. It's roughly the size of "Stuff on my Cat" or "Powers of Ten" but a little wider in aspect ratio. Again, the dimensions are in the description so I can't claim I was baited and switched. I simply didn't bother to read it and assumed it was the size of a typical "art of..." book.I don't regret the purchase because I got a good price thankfully. But hopefully my review helps others that might've unwittingly wound up in my shoes.

The book is great quality and feels nice, and it's a great addition to any Dead Space fan's collection, but the test is very small and a little hard to read (And I ain't even old enough to need reading glasses!). The pictures are nice and the 3D images are a cool addition. The sections seem thrown together, though. Certain things are covered extensively, and certain parts of the game have one page. There was also one or two typos in the book.

Well this is pretty much a must for any Dead Space fan. Great illustrations and a nice insight as the what people have in mind while creating the game. It could stand to be larger, because it's quite small, and it's harder to appreciate the fine details of the pieces, but still worth the money I paid.

I saw this included in the super expensive limited edition, so I was happy this seller was selling it separately. It even came with 3D glasses! How cool is that?

Short but sweet!

It's the size of a napkin!

This was a free pre order bonus that came out at the launch of the first game. Everyone complaining about the size needs to understand how awesome it was as a free item just for buying the game. If you want cool things at a good price, don’t be late to the game.
