Here's my stash from amazon.jp~
Majimoe - compiles works from various artists
The Girls Girls Girls! 3 is a good buy too :D The scans are pretty much all on moe already. I'm too lazy to check if they're all on there. There are 80-some illustrations.
The E2 one is full color illustrations. The paper is really nice and thick. I like this one too :D
The headphones one - it's laid out so that one page is art, the other is info about the headphone. It's a nice little book too. Comes out to be about 40 illustrations.
Here's some pages from Stigma of the Wind illustrations

Thanks for the pictures! I'm definitely looking to get Kaze no Stigma Illustrations and Majimoe, as both look great from what you've shown.
Wow! Kaze no Stigma Illustrations looks a lot better then what I pictured when I saw the cover. For some reason I was thinking it was more of a manga guide but looks like it's got tons of beautiful scans. :o
Oh and you got Cafe Kichijouji! I really need to order that myself, I just love that series and the artbook has sooo many pretty illustrations. :D
Sorry about the Yuro / Love Revo book. If I had known you were thinking about ordering it I would have warned you as I had heard it was a blah guide book. :( In fact if any of you are going to order Otome-ish artist books or game books and aren't sure of the contents let me know as I probably either have it or have heard what's in it. XD
How is your R3 book? I was thinking about getting that one but the scans are so prevelent and I haven't even read the series so I decided to not bother.
And how's the Anniversary book (from the second photo bottom right)? I've seen that one a lot but the contents were too iffy for me to take a risk on it.

Otome-ish book inquiry for you Myrrhlynn: click!
Have you heard anything about it, and if there's a good amount of illustrations?

XD Wow that was fast.
I've been eyeing that one up myself actually. The weird this is the info seems to be very scarce. Based on the fact that it's in the B's Log Collection and it's a game guide for the Vampire Knight DS game I'm going to go with "doesn't have a lot of scans" I could be wrong, but that's how every other book in the series is (only 1 book of all I own has a decent amount of full page scans).
I'm guessing it's mostly filled with screenshots and maybe 1 or 2 new big images plus the promo scans from B's Log (which are already in the gallery like this one ) although the ones in this new book will probably not have text on them.

Just got off work ~_~ the drive was so long >_<
The Anniversary book is full of beautiful color illustrations. It doesn't really have iffy illustrations. Kinda like the Junjou artbook. The R3 artbook is hardcover, full of pretty illustrations too. The Kaze no stigma one is a full artbook, has a few pages of b/w at the back, but otherwise full page illustrations.
I missed my Aurora Gem today ;_; Gonna leave the FedEx doortag out for tomorrow.

Saa-chanI missed my Aurora Gem today ;_; Gonna leave the FedEx doortag out for tomorrow.
Noooo!
I bet I was looking forward to that more than you were ._.
Oh, I didn't mean iffy as in "might not be appropriate for AP" I meant iffy as in "I have no idea how good the pics will be and how many full page ones there will be". XD
What exactly is a Fed Ex doortag? o_O
BTW if one of you buy the Chrome Shelled Regios Illustrations book please post some previews! I really have no desire to buy it but I'm interested to see how different the characters look compared to the anime. ^_^

Oh, the Anniversary book is full of color illustrations. There are some spreads, but all the images are pretty much full page. No stacked pics by my recollection.
Got my Aurora Gem today! Very nice illustration book. Divided into 3 chapters, has 92 color pages. Chapter 1 is Kure-nai, with 36 pages. Chapter 2 is some color manga pages from some series. Chapter 3 is artworks collection. There are stacked pages throughout, but not that many pages. Most pics are full page or spreads. Good stuff :D I'll try to scan some pages tonight.
You've never gotten a doortag from FedEx, Myrrhlynn? They leave it on the door when they miss you.

Yes *-* Looks awesome! I love the way he draws and colors, it's like Hyung-tae Kim clothing designs with better body proportions :3 Looking forward to getting my own soon \o/
Did theotaku.com locate a copy for you?
Ack, editing because I can't read!
Nope, it's a waiting process, but I have patience. Besides, I already paid for it :3
* And then weirdly, it came in the mail today so I guess maybe the e-mail was an error? XD

:D I get more patient when I have an idea of what the book's like inside. I'm more antsy to get it when I have no idea what the heck's inside XD
Benippon is still locating my 8 books (in 3 separate orders)... I feel pretty good about them though, since I already know they'll be good stuff. I do feel iffy about the shipping though >_<

Oh, I think I misunderstood about benippon then. I thought they had the used books in stock, but they get them after you've ordered them? And here I thought they were located in Japan...
