Anne Bachelier Illustrated bi-lingual Edition

Does anyone have this edition?

It's one of those high art limited edition books; the first editions even have original paintings/drawings included and are priced in the thousands of dollars. The Deluxe editions are $300, Regular editions $145.

I love the gorgeous, surrealistic artwork (Bachelier gets major props for making a painting of Meg and Madame Giry!). If you click here http://www.cfmgallery.com/Anne-Bachelier/Anne-Bachelier-Books/Anne-Bachelier-Phantom-Artwork.html you can see all the paintings that were included in the book, as well as rejected/unused paintings.

I kinda balk at the price, even for the lowly $145 level, but yeah, did anyone take the plunge and buy a copy? What edition did you get? What is the translation being used? Is it worth the money?

Wow, that artwork really is fantastic!

These are ridiculously hot. Good find! The triptych is my new desktop. *rightclicksaveas* *rightclicksaveas* *rightclicksaveas* *rightclicksaveas*

Those illustrations are awesome! I love them. Pity the book is so expensive, though.

Except his hair being really short and red in colour that is one of the closest things I've ever seen to how I picture Raoul, especially when in masquerade thread in rpgs, where he usually wears a similar outift.

Wow, thats really beautiful, it gives a sense of, kind of by the lighting more of an Emotional feel to the paintings, where can you get the edition of this book again?

i think i'm going to use one as my avatar.

Absolutely gorgeous. Too bad it's out of my price range. But like InkedAlchemist, I did a lot of that right click save stuff!
