naked is a red book, small square. it's not an art book, it's a history of metal gear. it has some promo item pics, posters, and a mini poster as i explained in the other thread.

there are 2 shinkawa art books for metal gear solid (the first, and 1.5 which came after twin snakes)... all worth it if only for the sniper wolf sketches... :o

art book that was packed in with the mgs premium package
art book that was packed in with the mgs2 premium package
art book that was packed in with the mgs3 premium package
art book that was a konamistyle preorder bonus for mgs2 premium package
art book that was part of the mgs edition gamecube

mgs2 limited edition brady guide/artbook
brady guides metal gear solid 3 snake eater art book contains artwork from all 3 games.

... and i would say get the metal gear solid 1.5 if you are just looking for an artbook, it's an updated version of the original, which you can still get in brand new condition in all sorts of places, like play-asia.com

You can check most of them at http://junkerhq.net/kojima.html

Don't forget there are two versions of the first MGS one, the American and Japanese. Differences are little, but present (the packaging, the obi, a serial number and some text if I recall correctly).

Artemio :)

Ah yes, the making of metal gear solid 2 i've not seen personally, but i'm guessing it's much like the world of MGS book.
I have the MGS4 military file coming in the mail, im curious about it, i figure it just speaks of all the weapons available in the game in real world terms.

I've not seen the MGS2 book in the middle top row of your picture, the blue/white snake one.

http://junkerhq.net/cgi-bin/display.cgi ... Gear+Books

top row:
making of mgs2
mgs2 book (unknown to me)
konamistyle mgs2 preorder shinkawa artbook

bottom row:
art of mgs (shinkawa)
art of mgs2 (shinkawa)
metalworks the perfect guide + dvd + poster

Artemio has a page about the art of mgs book, fyi.

Shayno, just spotted this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/METAL-GEAR-SOLID- ... 286.c0.m14

They're a bit cheaper on Yahoo! Japan though but if you're not trusting them then eBay would be a safe bet!
