Opinions on Official Books

Post » Wed Oct 14, 2015 2:36 am

I have about $50 to spend, so I wanted opinions on:

http://store.gamesas.com/brands/the-elder-scrolls-online/the-elder-scrolls-online-tales-of-tamriel-vol-1-the-land.html

http://store.gamesas.com/brands/the-elder-scrolls/the-skyrim-library-vol-1-the-histories.html

http://store.gamesas.com/brands/the-elder-scrolls-online/the-heros-guides-to-the-elder-scrolls-online.html

Have you bought them? Read them? How did you like the art? Did you feel satisfied with your purchase? Were you disappointed? Which would you recommend the most?

I know this touches on TESO stuff. This IS NOT an invitation to debate the game's merits. I'm looking for genuine book reviews from the community. Not opinions on the games themselves.

Thanks.

Oh man, I didn't know they came out yet. Sadly, it seems that the one I'm interested is out of stock. Alas.

I am curious though as to the art. I recognize some of it from Adam's stuff, but the Jarl is new.

I have all 3, but have not had time to read the 2 Volume books (there are more coming in those series too).

Tales of Tamriel has a lot more art then the Skyrim Histories one. The both have basics contents pages, but no index so finding something of particular interest can be a pain.

The quality of them both appear good and solid, cant complain there.

The Hero's Guide would be the one I would go for, the 3 book's inside are all very well made with some nice touches. Lots of great art work and original writing, where as the other two are taken from in game source's.

Another thing about it is that is big, stands at just under 40cm (16 inches). And I think getting it at $50 rather then the original 100 is money well spent.

I like all 3, and will continue to by the rest of the series f the volumes when available.

Hope that is of some help to you
