farmer_yohei Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 So I didn't know where to ask this so I made a new topic. Does anyone have scans of the goldbook? I keep hearing about this mythical book of greatness and want to check it out. So I figured some one might have scanned their copy for the good of the community. So, did anyone?

Mr March Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I've scanned some portions of the line art section from the gold book for the vehicle and mecha art used on my website, but there is 400 pages of stuff in the book! That's way too much to scan, IMO. It is a great book, no doubt about it. My website has a basic description of what is inside the book. You can find it in the book section here: Books Section (on the Macross Mecha Manual) Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beltane70 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I don't think any gold book owners want to risk damaging their books by scanning too much of it. Call us chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 *raises hand* I damaged it a bit, for the Macross Mecha Manual. Actually, the my Gold Book survived relatively unscathed. My Macross Perfect Memory however took a bit of a beating. It's all in one piece and no pages have fallen out, but the poor spine will never recover. But I'm never selling it so I figured a little sacrifice was worth the website Besides, there's always the Macross Chronicle. Once it's released, it might prove to be more definitive.

Gubaba Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 It might be more definitive, but it won't be as pretty... I am cosumed with envy for those of you who have it...the last time I actually saw one in a shop, I was twelve...and it was WAY out of my price range...

Vifam7 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) It might be more definitive, but it won't be as pretty... I am cosumed with envy for those of you who have it...the last time I actually saw one in a shop, I was twelve...and it was WAY out of my price range... I have a copy. Bought it used. The slipcover was beatup but the book itself was still tight. It cost a pretty penny. Almost regretted buying it, until I opened the pages. Keep an eye out on Ebay. It pops up on occaison. Or you could use a proxy bidder/buyer like Celga, Shopping Mall Japan, or CrescentShop and get it now from Yahoo Japan auctions. This copy comes with the Valk poster which mine did not come with: http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n59567643 Who knows maybe it'll be reprinted one day.

Hiriyu Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Keep on looking for them - there are deals to be found out there. I got one on Ebay a couple of years back for $80.00, with everything included except the filmstrip. No one even bid against me for it.

Beltane70 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 My Goldbook is one of my favorite birthday presents. I got it for my 17th birthday. I can't believe that I've owned that book for 21 years. It's a little beat up, but nothing too seriuos. I was also lucky enough to have my book autographed by Shoji Kawamori, Haruhiko Mikimoto, and Mari Iijima.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I got one for handling, and one for just having perfect and un-used condition~! Actually i bought the first one for cheap, and the 2nd one for the filmstrip. Pride of my macross library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
