All Colour but the Black The Art of Bleach Tite Kubo Books Reviews

• You will be amazed at how vivid the colors are in this book. Any fan of the Bleach Manga will be dazzled by the colorful artwork. Not much, if anything, from the Bleach Anime Series is in the book.
  
  Many of the pages look familiar. Some are larger versions of the color cover artwork from the series. Some drawings appeared as black and white content. Some I have never seen before. The book has both Chapter 13 covers on side by side pages. Decide for yourself if there is too much gore.
  
  There are only a few words on the pages outside of what may be drawn in the pictures. No page numbers either. An index at the end gives a brief description of the plates. Be warned that much of this book comes from existing work that hardcore fans may be familiar with. But the quality of images and the size of the book are the selling points as much as the content. The book is in the Japanese Right to Left format, just like the manga, but there isn't any warning on the last page to remind you to start with the other end.
  
  The book is just under 12 inches tall and a bit wider than 8 inches. About the same dimensions as Newsweek magazine. It has about 70 pages printed on very high quality glossy paper, similar to a magazine. The painted graphics in the book are beyond description of how lively the colors are. Black is still the color of choice for the Soul Reapers.
  
  There is a Tri-Folded, double page in size, two sided poster that has a group shot of all the Court Guard Lieutenants and a group shot of Ichigo and friends in the "land of the living". The book has a nice dust cover. The title on the jacket says "All Colour But The Black" "The Art of Bleach". The author is Tite Kubo.
  
  This book would make a great gift for anyone you might know who loves Bleach and it isn't even that expensive.
• First off the item shipped very fast and came right on time. Very satisfied with the delivery. Secondly, let's talk about the Art book. Since I'm a fan of Anime, I've been collecting everything Anime. The art book is phenomenal,superb, fantastic, beautiful, artistic, and every adjective you can think of to describe this beautiful piece of art. Since I'm an artist myself, I say this is one of the best Art books I've collected. Every page is filled with colorful prints of Bleach characters. One thing that I've always liked about this series is that are various different characters each with unique abilities, appearances, and personalities. This book displays every single important characters from the series and on top of that it also includes a poster of Bleach characters at the end of the page for Bleach fans. I know I am very late to write a review on this product but you must understand that I wanted this book when I was a young teenager. I was even at Borders bookstore and it was gripped in my hand and pleaded with my dad to buy me it but he refused. I left the store sulking and gloomy but I promised one I'd get it. And guess what here it is man. Since now I'm old enough, I have a job and and can afford something like this with no problem. Sorry to get off track lol I had to include my short little sad story there but this is a must have art book if you loved this series and are a hardcore fan of Bleach.Highly recommended.
• I was expecting, bent corners like the conditions implyed, but it had serve water damage on the cover, and sharpie marks on the back. It might been acceptable if was childerns book, but it was an art book. luckily the cover was removable, so the rest the book could be flatted out. I guess it's what I get for buying used. Please include actual condition details of the products like water damage .
•  This is a soft cover book with a dust jacket. The first page is a multi-fold page that unfolds into a small poster, both sides printed.
  
  Full page coloured illustrations dominate most of the pages. The paper stock is good and the colour reproduction great. You can see the details in inking, and in colouring , the gradations and texture of the water colour. Most of the illustrations included come from the Weekly Jump.
  
  At the end are 13 title page illustrations for the caption, which are in black and white.
  
  All illustrations are annotated. Short captions are also included by the artist Tite Kubo to explain the background story.
  
  Great book for fans of Bleach.

• A huge must have for any Bleach fan! The quality of the pages and the cover are great and I love looking at all the promo art, mag covers, sketches etc
• Brought back my feelings when i first started the series in 2007. I don't have this kinda feeling in releases since last few years. I feel like story lost it's magic after huenco mundo. It still might be good, but felt so much disappointment from the repeatitive story line I don't even read anymore.
  Quality of art book was great. I saw my favourite cover arts in a very good quality.
• Very happy with this purchase. When I saw it in a book store for $20, I didn't have the money for it. Seeing it for about $5 cheaper on (including shipping costs), I can honestly say I'd have been more than happy to pay $25 or even thirty for this. IT IS AMAZING.
  
  The pictures are all awesome, cool, and the concepts, like gangster Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Rukia and Renji and others are very original. That, a removable poster, and some comments from Tite Kubo himself on the back pages, and I have to say that, as a Bleach fan, it's a must have.
