Has anybody else noticed the prices of certain “Art of” books? Prices through the roof…..I mean Art of Monsters Inc is a $150-$180 book all day long, and most of the Dreamworks and Pixar film art books are expensive. I started to notice that The Art of Iron Man 1 and The Art of Iron Man 2 (2 of my favorite movies by the way) were fetching $60-$75 individually. Oh well, guess I can live without those in the collection…lol! I happen to stumble across this set online…

I had to have it! Not only would I get Iron Man 1 & 2, but Art of Thor & Art of Captain America for $150 all in a slipcase. I happened to catch this set for under $100 thanks to the holidays and just received it today. The books are beautifully done inside and out. It even came with a limited Avengers poster for the upcoming movie. Check out the pics below (which are not my books, but found pics online because this beast is too big for my scanner!!)
