    I'd be down for that too. Love Milnes art in MTMTE, would be awesome to have that art book. I wouldn't mind waiting.

    Yeah right, Kickstarter this thing or something. I'd pay up front too. You could definitely get enough people to run a good number on an offset press as a hardcover without a dime out of pocket.

    Oh snap, I've been saying he should do something like this for years, his sketches and experiments are massively interesting, to the point I'm probably more interested in them than the "finished" art in this.

    I was lucky enough to get one of these at Auto Assembly - it's a lovely book and well worth the £20 I paid for it (complete with Optimus Prime sketch which I wasn't expecting!) I really hope Alex makes these more readily available because it's a book that really ought to be enjoyed by everyone. Let's hope he makes more soon.

    I will make more of them, but for right now they are for conventions only. Sorry if that's not convenient for everyone. This is just how it has to be for a while.

    I know i'm going to sound like a broken wheel but is there no way people who want this book (or any additional ones you're looking to do down the line) perhaps preorder it or pay you in advance so you can get more copies out?

    Edit: Stupid me, didn't see all those posts by other members suggesting the same thing before hand.

    Sorry, but I won't take preorders at the moment for this. I know that they can help get the book made, but at this time I'm comfortable doing this the way I am. It might change in the future, and it is something I'm looking into, but for right now I'm not doing preorders, kickstarters and anything like that. I have a hard enough time focusing on MTMTE issues without adding more to my plate ;)

    Well, when and if you get around to doing it in the future, you totally have what looks to be a good amount of preorders here ;)
