After much digging and searching, we are finally ready to share with you the results of our artistic archeological expeditions. The Art of New Eden covers more than a decade of artwork for EVE Online, DUST 514 and includes artwork from the upcoming EVE: Valkyrie. If you want to see a sneak peak of what's inside and find out how to get your hands on a copy, including the limited edition, you should take a look at the new dev blog by CCP t0rfifrans.

Its always nice to see more EVE Books! Special thanks for the e-book edition, it might allow for some nice wallpapers!
I just wonder if this one will sell as well as EVE Source. After all, learning about the lore sounds more worth my money than looking at pictures.

Well, I know what I'll be doing at fanfest, on Friday, just before 15:00
Leaving to make sure I have a reliable connection, to put in my order for the limited edition.
Woo! CSM 9!

Sweeeet!
So. I'm going to be at Fanfest. What's the best option for getting a super-shiny limited edition version? Should I just camp down a computer at 1500 GMT on the 20th? :x Or will I be able to grab one at the swag shop?

Please don't change the Chimera art to this
The old model looks a few hundred million times better. Seriously please reconsider how drastic the change is and bring back the top jutting bridge that separates the Chimera from a giant bland Rokh. |

Excuse can you please explain the pricing to me?
in the UK where VAT on books is 0% it's 89.99 euro's yet in other european countries which charge between 5% and 20% VAT on books it's still 89.99 euros?
Why are you once again shafting the UK? you did it with the pricing on the Limited Edition of EVE Source as well and I pointed this out to you, but apparently your marketing department just doesn't care? |

New Chimera concept art awful. Do not want sheet metal look for any more ships.
OK I will never fly a Chimera and I don't usually fly Caldari so it doesn't matter what I want but if you go down this road please keep it confined to Caldari and not the other factions.
Otherwise looks like it is going to be a very cool book. |

I cannot wait for this and will enjoy it at least as much as Source! :)
However, It is absolutely unnecessary to deliberately limit one of the editions to 2001 copies. Why not just create a deluxe edition at a higher premium price and make more money by selling more of it while simultaneously making it more available for a larger audience and consumer base? A book should be "limited" because it was only produced for a short time, not because someone deliberately turned off the production line when they felt like it...

So, Friday 20th at 15:00 GMT? That's the exact hour when I am leaving my home to go work, each day monday to friday for the last 7 years. I wonder if my boss would understand that I am late because I had to buy a book on Internet... (answer: no. And with 38% of unemployment in my trade, I will not bloody try my luck)
Just a suggestion from what any company with half an ounce of good sense (but, !!CCP!!) would do: Split the stack by timezones (25% of all copies for sell at 00:00, 25% more at 06:00, then at 12:00 and 18:00 GMT) and put them for sell on Sunday.

You're milking the old clothing assets for all they're worth, aren't you.
The logical conclusion is that you'll re-release the remaining LP store clothing items as digital bonus goods, running their values into the ground. In no particular order:
Women's 'Sterling' Dress Blouse -Gold -Graphite -Red Satin
Which I'm not totally against, because the sooner you get through those, the sooner you'll release something new?
So much for the player economy, eh?

Looks great can't wait to get hold of it.
On the fence about the Chimera re-design. I do love the current shape and style but I do feel it needs to be pumped up, the current model is so small.
Would be sad to see the current design go - can't a 'Chimera Mk.II' just be released instead.
I guess we've had these arguments before when the totally redesigned and updated models replace the older ones. |

Excited and disappointed.
Really want a limited edition but there are just so few of them. 5000 should have been the target, especially when factoring in the ones reserved for the companies involved. Hope you consider a second printing because the current number is just far too low.
Additionally, not having an open pre-order for the limited edition and selecting from those who sign up lottery style means that there's likely going to be a mass rush which makes it even more difficult if the site crashes or responds slowly. (Personally speaking, I work graves and being up at 8 am on a workday isn't feasible for me).
Not sure I'll order the regular hard copy based off the low quality of the hard copy eve source book. (No dust jacket, flimsy hard cover, pages not cut consistently or evenly, etc) |

The order page for the Limited Edition says that the first 1000 copies will be signed.
Are all 1000 of those in the pool that is split half-and-half between U.S. and E.U., or were some of those 1000 snagged by CCP employees and/or Dark Horse?
In other words, are there 500 out of 795 for each region that will come signed, or some lesser number? |

I love the uber limited edition but I feel screwed out of that one.
I'll be at Fanfest, I won't be able to order it from there and although I appreciate the idea of 'limited edition', could have made more than just 2000 of the book?

But
Quote:Last year, CCP and Dark Horse Comics released a book called EVE Source....EVE fans were happy....
Me not so much. Unfortunately. I'm maybe the exception, but if I want to buy EVE:Source as e-book from the Apple iBook store AND if I'm not an US resident I'm out of luck. Dark Horse Comics don't publish it internationally via the iBook store - even after one year meanwhile.
It's a "I throw money at the screen...nothing is happening" -situation. Dark Horse Comics' support is really bad also. They just don't care.
@CCP: any information if the situation will be better with the new book? The dev blog was a bit vague regarding e-book availability. |

Heh, earliest I may be able to access the site to get a copy will be 5 1/2 hours after the sell opens. That would have given me a slight chance with the first book, but now that CCP is chasing a dose of "we sold them out in two hours haw haw!" e-peen, everyone who can't be online at 15:00 GMT on friday March 20th can consider himself officially bummed.

500 for each region. The Dark Horse and CCP staff stacks do not contain signed copies, only the one for the store.

I'll be at Fanfest, I won't be able to order it from there and although I appreciate the idea of 'limited edition', could have made more than just 2000 of the book?
Gah! Hey, there is wi-fi and computers at Fanfest, hope you can order it there. If not, hail me down and I'll let you use my phone!

I think the book mentioned in that thread is a different project than the book that is announced in this thread. This one is more about artwork and visuals, while the one Falcon proposed there is more of a "technical manual". Which would make a nice addition to the set and I hope it's the next thing they get to work on.
At least I hope that's right

The artwork is jaw-dropping.
But CCP, there should be a digital version too. Why make it a limited edition physical item only? Release it digitally as well for all the world to see. It's a waste to limit this amazing collection to just those physical copies. |

Excuse me but can you please explain the pricing to me?
in the UK where VAT on books is 0% it's 89.99 euro's yet in other european countries which charge between 5% and 20% VAT on books it's still 89.99 euros?
Why are you once again shafting the UK? you did it with the pricing on the Limited Edition of EVE Source as well and I pointed this out to you, but apparently your marketing department just doesn't care?
Hey, Radgette, CCP Spitfire here.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention! You are absolutely right; as UK VAT on books is 0%, we will be selling the book for 89.99 USD to the players in this country. (to preemptively answer another question, VAT on books in most other European countries is also lower than the general VAT, but unfortunately the extremely strong dollar and added shipping costs do not allow us to reduce the price accordingly).
We'll update the website accordingly to avoid confusion.

The EVE Source book was nice and I'll almost certainly get the Art of New Eden. However, I have to be honest, it's the proposed technical manual that I'd really like to see. I'm sure there are some normal people who play EVE, but I'm also pretty sure that most of us are nerds and read instruction manuals.

Oh, but I fancy the fancy birthday gift edition. I already have too many books literally piled on my shelves as to buy anything that's not either pocket edition OR fancy edition. I already attempted to buy the first edition the day after, and it didn't work out.
Seriously. Next time split the stacks so we idiots who work on friday evening EU time zone have a chance. Or, at least start the sell in non-labor day like sunday.

I give up. This was no really pleasant experience.
Iirc last year the limited edition of EVE source was not really promoted. It was suddenly on sale. This year you had a dev blog and the announcement in the eve key note. It should have been more than obvious that the serverload would be more than 1,5times as last year. After one hour of time outs, server reboots and unreponsive server, i don't want anymore.
And then only credit card as payment option, as other have reported. No paypal, nothing else. If you had reported the payment options in advance, some people wouldn't even have tried, which saved them time and you server load.
So that's perhaps wait for amazon in april ... |

Does that mean that i can order it using "NA" page, or i only "Europe" with 180 Euro shipping will work for me? |

Like was said above I tried again and again to get through this order process until finally I did! (I got lucky last year with Source, signed even and wanted to complete the set)
I'm an Australian and I know that IKON has units for sale in Australia (but haven't announced how they're selling them since they appear to be a wholesaler) but the 178 Euro shipping charge for the website version is ludicrous. This isn't the first time I've stopped from buying EvE merch, look at the shipping rates for the Muster products. However this isn't a Muster Brand product and while I can't remember the shipping costs for Source CE it was nothing like this. So I'm left wondering what happened this time?
In any case 262.16 Euro ($364 AUD) is so far out of reasonable that I can now put this behind me.
Best of luck to the people still trying to buy it.

Addition: Tried to order and checkout using "NA" region. When i filled billing information and clicked "Purchase", it just showed me red label "Please choose a shipping method." (While there was still empty - no any boxes with possible shipping methods).
So looks like i can order only EU variant. If i checkout and purchase using "Europe" region - shipping cost is still 180 Euro.
CCP, you are crazy. I'll better take it on Amazon twice cheaper, and with <15 Euro shipping cost.
From Russia with love. |

An hour and a half of trying to purchase from the US /UK store only to at one point have 5 items in my cart that could not be removed, to then managing to get to checkout and constantly being asked for shipping instructions which I could not enter =ƒÿí So I ordered from the Europe store and my order was processed finally. Nearly 40 euros postage and that's economy, I live in the UK so paid tax on my book aswell. But I have order confirmed so a little happier than an hour ago |

Thank you CCP! If your site had worked properly and the delivery cost was not akin to sending the book via suborbital flight, I would never had a chance to buy a copy!
(There was 465 units remaining when I came back from work, and I had no isssue with the buy process beyond picking my jaw from the floor when I read that the "express" delivery costed more than the actual book...)

I have just woke up and went straight to the page ready to purchase. But now I have stopped as 178 Gé¼ to Australia has to be a joke. Chasing up the page of that IKON company you mentioned had some books. |

If the first 1000 sold have the signatures and about 500 are reserved already then it doesn't surprise me that they are not selling so well now. It would have been nice if they were all signed but TBH it must suck having to sign your signature 1000 times let alone 2001 times. |

This means that as of now, people ordered: - 1000 signed copies - 27 unsigned copies
And another 564 looks like will not be sold at all - i suspect that because of horrific service and idiotic shipping price (170 Euro).
Right now i'm even glad that CCP didn't allow me to by limited edition and saved my money - i'll not buy it even if they will fix shipping price. Probably later i'll order hardcover from Amazon twice cheaper.
P.S. It will be especially funny if CCP will fail to sell even these 2000 "limited" edition copies |

So the books reserved for CCP staff and for Dark Horse Comics as well as the ones sent to Australia are unsigned? Your math states that 591 books are unsigned... out of the entire 2001 editions printed. Why would they screw over 591 people? If we look at the fine print it states that the first 1000 sold feature the signatures. Aren't reserved books considered sold first? I hope I'm wrong though... :) |

That would be nice, but I doubt it. As far as I know when limited edition Source was sold at here in Australia none of them were signed. Here's hoping!
But yes, this ends up costing less than half of just the postage costs coming from the official website! xD |

Why are you once again shafting the UK? you did it with the pricing on the Limited Edition of EVE Source as well and I pointed this out to you, but apparently your marketing department just doesn't care?
Hey, Radgette, CCP Spitfire here. Thanks for bringing this to our attention! You are absolutely right; as UK VAT on books is 0%, we will be selling the book for 89.99 USD to the players in this country. (to preemptively answer another question, VAT on books in most other European countries is also lower than the general VAT, but unfortunately the extremely strong dollar and added shipping costs do not allow us to reduce the price accordingly). We'll update the website accordingly to avoid confusion.
Thanks for this it's much appreciated ( sorry for my short fuse :p )
However it didn't actually work as the website had a brain fart and won't give any shipping options for UK addresses if you try to buy in dollars.
I purchased one in euros ( it's still pending ) and have submitted a ticket. I was with CCP Goliath when the problems occured when ordering on a PC at Fanfest and I checked just now and ordering in dollars still gives no UK shipping options.

If you have any < in your message, that can cause it to 'detect' html tags. Make sure if you do, that there's nothing /right/ next to them except spaces. That should sort that.
