This is not really an art book but I found the book's construction interesting. The recommended retail price is a whopping £450.

Here are more (dangerous) websites where you can find previews for art related books.

Copper, one of my favourite online comics, has finally made it into a book!

You can preview the comics at boltcity.com/copper or get them on Amazon (US | CA | UK | FR | DE | JP)

One is added daily.

I shall keep this year's shorter and hopefully more achievable.

1. Review more Japanese art books

I hope to do that without breaking the bank, which is going to be very difficult. If you know of any good or upcoming Japanese art books, I'm always interested to know.

2. Learn Japanese

This will be incredibly helpful when I'm reading Japanese books. Now I'm more like looking. It will help with my Japanese animes as well.

3. Draw more

Same as last year.
