Are you an Arcane fan? Then get this. Beautiful cover to display on your shelf, even better art inside. You get behind the scenes and understand how the world came to be. You get a bunch of posters to hang on your walls, too. Support the amazing studio behind this amazing show and get this book. Stunning to say the least.

5.0 out of 5 stars 🎵 Fantastic 🎵

There aren't enough words to describe how fantastic and gorgeous this book is. I'd been eyeing it for a while, and when I saw it was on sale, my heart leapt. I haven't had time to thoroughly go through the text, though I can tell it's very detailed and shows a fascinating look at behind the scenes. The quality of the art within this book cannot be understated, and I absolutely love the two-page and four-page spreads of landscapes from the show. I also missed the extras in the product information, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find loose pages of hextech blueprints, Jinx's wanted poster, Vander's letter to Silco, a paint stencil for Jinx's monkey bomb sigil, and a map of Piltover!!! I wish we could also see a map of just the undercity, but I'm very happy at least seeing where Zaun is in relation to Piltover. My favorite page so far is the disc concept art, including the famous timebomb fairies that look inspired by Stromae and Pomme, the musicians featured in the timebomb episode.Also, the bottom-right corner of the dust jacket was damaged during shipping, though that feels more to do with handling during shipping. It came wrapped in clear plastic and encased within bubble wrap, so perhaps when it was wrapped for shipping, the corner was bent and it simply stayed that way until delivery.Anyways, it's a minor detail and I don't mind it too much personally. THE ART IS SO BEAUTIFUL! And the pink ribbon for a bookmark was very clever and will be helpful as I read.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth every penny!!!

beautiful book, has many posters and additional content, would highly recommend esp as a gift for an arcane lover

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Arcane artwork

J.M. · October 14, 2025

Awesome artwork for one of the best animated shows of all time. If you enjoyed Arcane and love art then you will definitely enjoy this deep dive into all the art behind the Legend-ary show. Great value and about the size of a coffee table book. Love the pink plastic book sleeve that will keep this book in great shape for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very High Quality, heavy paper, rich colors

T.G. · August 3, 2025

Beautiful Hardcover. Heavy paper stock and amazing print quality. A very high quality book for sure, and worth the money. I find it very cool that the Jinx character has scribbled throughout the book, crossing things out, writing in the margins, doodles… it’s like reading the same book from two perspectives, the authors and then Jinx. The artwork is amazing. It’s very dense. I am very happy with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars WORTH EVERY PENNY! <3

N. · September 5, 2025

BEAUTIFUL! AMAZING! 10/10!!! The amount of hidden “treasures” In the book is so heartwarming!! They really do love and fans. Theirs posters (map of piltover and the undercity, blue print of hexcore, and a wanted poster of jinx!) and a stencil of jinx’s monkey graffiti! It is SO WORTH IT! :))

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous book!

M. · September 14, 2025

I love Arcane and I've wanted to get this for a while! It doesn't disappoint. The art is breathtaking and I love reading about the process.

Fantastic !!!!

G. · August 27, 2025

Absolutely brilliant- it is a work of art and a must have for the fans. In depth record of the origins and how the story/characters etc progressed over time with story boards, behind the scenes and much more. Extra materials eg posters, pull out maps etc. make it even more exciting.

Imprescindible, no decepciona, vale mucho más de lo que cuesta

P.F. · July 3, 2025

El libro es único y maravilloso. Casi cualquier pregunta, duda o curiosidad que pudieras tener o ni siquiera te habías preguntado tiene respuesta en sus páginas. Desde inspiraciones para los diseños, influencias, referencias... Toda la historia de Arcane está aquí. Lo he visto todo por encima y los únicos que dejan malas reseñas son porque lo pidieron en preventa y les llegó tarde. Deberían cambiar su reseña, porque el producto no es el servicio. Creo que su precio, 40€, está más que bien merecido. Se venden libros normales, de sólo texto y tapa dura por 30€. Este precio me parece una ganga para la calidad y contenido, así como los extras (mapa, plantilla etc). Me hubiera encantado pa edición portfolio, pero se sale de mi presupuesto. Podían haber sacado otra edición un poco más intermedia y sí la hubiera comprado. He comprado la versión en inglés porque no me fío de las traducciones ni el acabado que le podrían haber dado a la imagen una editorial española. Ojalá más cosas de Arcane pronto (y asequibles)!

AMAZING

A.K. · July 16, 2025
