I believe it to be a bargain as an basic inspirational reference for some artists as well as those who simply liked the movie. That said, even if you are a die-hard details fan (as I tend to b.

I ordered it used for $10 despite seeing many negative reviews and I'm glad I did. There are almost no words in it so if you want it for the sake of reading it, think twice. I almost never read the long, drawn out paragraphs & usually look at The Art of books soley for the character concept art and storyboards so I quite enjoyed it. TONS of character design and lighting/landscape concept art. I would buy again in a heartbeat!! :)
