Amazon US Now Sell Ballistic Publishing Art Books Directly
I don't really know when it started but Amazon US are now selling more Ballistic Publishing art books directly. That means that books like Massive Black: Volume 1, The Art of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and other popular titles are now available direct from Amazon, in additional to the usual offerings from third party merchants.
Prices are about 30% off those listed on Ballistic Publishing website. So it's slightly more affordable now.
Here are some of the titles I noticed that weren't sold directly, but now are:
The Art of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (book review | amazon.com)
EXPOSE 6: The Finest Digital Art in the Known Universe (amazon.com)
EXPOSE 7: The Finest Digital Art in the Known Universe (amazon.com)

They have page previews for, I think, all their books on www.ballisticpublishing.com. Pricey but worth the money. Just think of it as getting two art books worth for the price of one.
I prefer the gallery art books compared to the instructional ones, which I think are too high level.
Hum, the first one I'll get
Hum, the first one I'll get from them will be the God of War 3 Artbook. I look forward to it. But somehow, Amazon can't seem to get the Leather Bound version, as they canceled the one I ordered when they still had it on their page. Now they deleted it. Oh well ^^'
Awesome! I went to a book
Awesome! I went to a book shop and they had every ballistic book published, and I literally spent hours going through them in awe. At £50 a pop, they were too expensive, but hopefully these will be alot cheaper. :)

How can they charge the difference?! I best look into buying from abroad I think...

In the past few months we have started working with a US distributor who will reach a lot more bookstores than we have been able to from Australia. They will also feed all standard editions into Amazon.
Amazon won't be handling Folio, Limited or Special Editions. They will only be available from www.ballisticpublishing.com together with some freebies and some great offers for CGSociety members.
Update from me. Bought
Update from me. Bought uncharted from your links Parka.
Word of advice for UK fans. Amazon UK is £50, but you can pick it up from Amazon US for £33. As long as you are happy with a longer wait for delivery, a bargain of a save!
