I have to say, this was my first Street Fighter art-book (ironic as I got back into the series with SSIV), and I genuinely enjoyed it. I liked reading some of the (admittedly brief) design notes on the challenges of adapting characters for the 3D format, and it's really cool to see some of the designs that didn't make it through and the alternate costumes for each character. It's also nice to have on hand to have a full collection of the various pieces of character art. I'm not terribly fussed about the Tribute book, but after this, I think I'll be getting the SF20 volume. So whilst it is rather slim, I think it's a decent collection - and it fits snugly next to my Megaman Battle Network Complete Works volume. Can't wait for Udon to get the Shigenori Soejima Persona collections out.
