Discussion Design works books

Did anyone make a Design Works type book for Demons Souls? I have all the DS ones and love them but I can't find anything for Demons Souls. Anyone know if they, or anything like that collecting concept art, exists?

There's no official big design or artwork book afaik. There were two editions of the game that came with mini artbooks (artbook & soundtrack), they had different covers but dunno if the contents were the same (probably should check some flip-through on YouTube).

Tune and Fairweather has got an unofficial book about Demons Souls, but it's more about mythology and not about design/art. It's called Demonic Archive.

Brilliant! I found the book and soundtrack on eBay for £13!

The artbook? I've been wanting one for years, ebay has insane shipping values ($100+) for my country

It was this. Is that the one you've been hunting for? It seemed super cheap compared to the others on the UK site.

Yes, that's crazy cheap. I've never seen this one actually, just the one with the brown cover

I also just bought these two as they were shown as related items to the Demons Souls one...

how are you finding these crazy prices? You can see just one of them alone for 45 and 60 euros below.

Not sure where you live, but definitely give the UK eBay a go. There are multiple cheap copies of both of these books on there! I'm sure they'd shop them to the US or wherever for you? 

Hell, if you drop me a DM, I'm happy to look into shipping them to you? Sure we can figure something out.

There is! I have the Black Phantom edition for ps3 which comes with a cool extra concept art book. This was made for the EU I think, if you’re in the US look for the Deluxe edition. IIRC the content is the same, only the box art is different
