I think this book just came out. It appears to be a follow up to the SDF Macross book in the same series.

I have not seen the content of either book, but they appear to be more modern sourcebooks to the classic shows with the usual lineart and designs -- it remains to be seen how much new content they contain. I'm guessing a few interviews, etc.

I got the SDFM book. It's fairly slim, and it only has three new pieces of artwork (including the cover). Most of the book is the same color shots of the mecha that we've seen in everything from the This Is Animation Specials to Macross Chronicle.

It's a nice little book, and very well done, but there's very little that's new in it.

Just picked up a copy from CD Japan.

I was also gonna get NA #15 but that would've bumped up the shipping fees A LOT.

I'd bee very interested in a breakdown of the content within these books. Just to make sure I'm not missing anything. Sometimes reprints from other books aren't so bad, especially when they reprint material from near-impossible-to-obtain books (remasted DVD booklets, I'm scowling at you)

What about the new illustrations? Are they worth it? Info please!
