The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Skyrim Library, Vol. II: Man, Mer, and Beast (Skyrim Library: The Elder Scrolls V)

it looked like the wax signet was embossed. It is not.

Made a great present

These books are amazing. If you are a fan of the elder scrolls then you need to own these.They're based on all of the available in game books but also come with awesome art.I wish Bethesda would make more of these books for all of the countries of Tamriels. Like and encyclopedia type of format. I'd pay what ever needed to be paid to make that happen.I love the elderscrolls and the skyrim libraries and Tales of Tamriel are all we have to connect us to the game. Hopefully we do eventually get more of these lore books.Anyway great books and look amazing in my personal lore Library.

I love that these books showcase all of the extra stories from Skyrim. Fast shipping and smooth transaction. Item was exactly as described.

As a fanatical and obsessive Skyrim lover, the books from the Skyrim Library exceed my expectations. Before I got these I was wondering if they would really do justice to the books from my beloved Skyrim, especially at this price. Boy howdy. These books are gorgeous. They're thoughtfully done, with a textured hard cover and metallic text on the front and a spine, making it look and feel special. The pages are designed to look like parchment in an old, slightly worn book, and the inside of the pages near the binding is printed to appear to be worn and loose (it's just designed to look loose-the binding is perfect). The book consists of 231 pages of text from the in-game books on the subjects of Races (eg. Birds Arise!), Creatures and Beasts (eg. Cats of Skyrim), Warfare (eg. Killing Before You're Killed), and Factions (eg. The Nightengales: Fact or Fiction?). The stories are interspersed with beautiful artwork and maps on nearly every page. Get this book!

There are 3 of these books, each with a specific theme. Not sure if every document in the game is included, but still, nice to have. They're large and heavy and illustrated. The illustrations alone could be considered worth the price. It's a visual treat and lets you immerse yourself in the Elder Scrolls world.

At first I was skeptical of the quality of these books for the given price, but I must say I am extremely impressed!I highly reccomend all 3 of these books to any hardcore fan of the elder scrolls universe.The books, from the protective hardcover outer shell, to the page thickness and quality, down to the print quality of the pictures and text are absolutely fantastic. The books themselves have an overwhelming feel Skyrim. A must have collection for harscore fans of the elder scrolls such as myself.A++, will gladly buy from this company again.

Another excellent addition to the Skyrim Library. Like the first, this hardcover collects various in-game books from the video game Skyrim and presents them in an excellent format complete with LOTS of very nice concept-art style illustrations throughout. This particular volume focuses on a lot of the bestiary style books as well as biographies of certain historical individuals.For any Elder Scrolls fan who enjoys the lore of the series this is an excellent and worthwhile addition to your collection. I'm very happy with the first two volumes and can't wait for the third to be released so I can get it as well!

Just received these books today and I am vary impressed and pleased with them. The quality of this book (as with the other two in the series) is really first class and holding them in my hands feels good, almost comforting. The hard-backed covers are thick, well presented with the Skyrim logo embossed on the front, as is the title below that. Inside the front and back covers you'll find a map of Skyrim. The pages themselves are of high quality and thick leaving no bleeding of text through the other side of the page. The text itself is clear, sharp and easy to read. The bonus of these books is that there are many high-quality hand drawings and illustrations within on almost every page.So, what exactly does this book contain? Well, you know those books you often find in the Skyrim game? Well, this three-book series contains every single one of those books, and rather than reading them on your computer/TV screen, you can read them here. Some of you might want to only delve into these books when you find a book in the game, whilst others might want to sit down and read these books from cover to cover. Both ways have their merits. I believe that some of these books are also found in the Morrowind and Oblivion games.This volume is entitled: Volume (II): MER, MAN AND BEASTThe other two volumes are:Volume (I): THE HISTORIESVolume (III): THE ARCANEAre you a serious fan of Skyrim? If yes, then these books are a must have.The contents of this volume is as follows:RACESNords of SkyrimChildren of the SkyNords Arise!Song of the Askelde MenThe Bear of Markarth: The Crimes of Ulfric StormcloakThe Wild ElvesFall of the Snow PrinceThe Dunmer of SkyrimAncestors and the DunmerConfessions of a Dunmer Skooma EaterChildren of the All-MakerDeathbrand: A Pirate's TaleVelehk Sain, Pirate King of the AbeceanThe Five Far StarsWords of the WindThe 'Madmen' of the Reach: A Cultural Treaty on the ForswornMystery of TalaraPallaThe Falmer: A StudyDwarves: The Lost Race of Tamriel: Vol. I: Architecture and DesignsDwarves: The Lost Race of Tamriel: Vol. II: Weapons, Armor, and MachinesMarobar Sul and the Trivialization of the Dwemer in Popular CultureAntecedants of Dwemer LawHanging Gardens of Wasten CoridaleHerbane's Bestiary: Dwarven AutomatonsThe Ruins of Kemel-ZeAncient Tales of the Dwemer I - The Ransom of ZarekAncient Tales of the Dwemer II - The SeedAncient Tales of the Dwemer III - The Importance of WhereAncient Tales of the Dwemer V - The Song of the AlchemistsAncient Tales of the Dwemer VI - ChimarvamidiumAncient Tales of the Dwemer X - The DowryChronicles of NchuleftAhzirr TrajijazaeriThe Tale of Dro'ZiraConfessions of a Khajiit Fur TraderThe True Nature of OrcsThe Pig ChildrenThe Code of Malacath: A Sellsword's Guide to the Orc StrongholdsThe Wraith's Wedding DowryCREATURES AND BEASTSOde to the TundrastridersHerbane's Bestiary: The Ice WraithsThe Wispmother: Two TheoriesGhosts in the StormHerbane's Bestiary: HagravensSkyrim:The Posting of the HuntHarvesting Frostbite Spider VenomChaurus Pie: A RecipeUncommon TasteSurviving a Horker AttackCats of SkyrimLycanthropic Legends of SkyrimExperimentations in the Physicalities of the WerewolfWARFAREMixed Unit Tactics in the Five Years WarKilling - Before You're KilledThe Black ArrowVernaccus and BourlorForge, Hammer, and AnvilBoneThe Axe ManThe Yellow Book of RiddlesThe Red Book of RiddlesThe Legendary ScourgeThe Third DoorFACTIONSThe Rise and Fall of The BladesSongs of the ReturnYngol and the Sea-GhostsGreat Harbingers of the CompanionsA Kiss, Sweet MotherThe Brothers of DarknessThe Night Mother's TruthFall from GloryShadowmarksThe Nightingales: Fact or Fiction?Thief of VirtueChance's FollyThe True Noble's CodeThe Hope of the RedoranFlight from the ThalmorRising Threat

Not as entertaining as the first one. Mostly short stories that give fragments of information on most races of tamriel. 5 stars for the quality if the print. Nice book to have on a shelf if you are a TES fan.

I already have volume 1 so I had to have volume 2, I'm a huge skyrim fan so is my fiancé. Book looks like it's come straight from the world of skyrim it contains great stories from the hit game

Best game ever skyrim. Can be played for one, two or even more years .

Can't wait to get more. Arrived fast and looks great with my other game books
