Anyone bought this? It's a must for Zelda fans.

It's a difficult book to describe it's part art book (with loads of concept art from the time they were thinking up the characters), part making of, part History of Zelda (both in terms of the story and the series production), part 25th anniversary celebration book.
It also divulges the much argued timeline of Zelda titles.
Amazingly it's actually made the NY Times bestsellers list, so it's more than just an obscure videogame book. If you are into Zelda, retro games its really worth getting.
Note: Just to say for some reason prices are jumping all over the place, I got mine about 2 weeks ago for £18 but i've seen some sites putting the price as high as £40!!!! Maybe it's in short supply now.

I did have a sneak peek via Amazon's E-viewer though.
