just finished downloading the Witcher art book (while still waiting the downloader login problem to be solved).

The art book is fabulous!

Any plan to release the printed version? i bet there are people who are interested in buying it

I seriously doubt that they would, it's not really the core business of gog.
You could try to find some service online who can make a book out of the pdf. (i guess)

i can only hope that one day CD Projekt RED will work with publisher like Ballistic Publishing (who released Art of God of War 3, Art of Uncharted 2) or Udon (who released Art of Darksiders, Art of Resident Evil 5) to release Art of the Witcher :-)

I've been looking for the printed version of the art book for a couple years now (that was included in the large box version of the game). It's extremely hard to find (i.e. impossible for me).

If anyone has it and wants to sell it, please contact me! :)

There was indeed a printed version of art of the witcher? i tried searching on eBay but currently still has no luck to find it. Hopefully Art of Witcher 2 (included in the retail's collector edition) will be easier to find

EDIT: wow, you're right, There is Art of the Witcher. Let's hope there are people who are willing to sell it

can't find it separately, but its on ebay with the limited edition game. For roughly $100 with shipping.

An alternative to the printed version of game art, if you start searching around, odds are you'll come across very high quality art from the artists themselves who worked on the games from their blogs or threads at conceptart.org, Deviantart.com, ZBrush, wherever. It's really worth the hunt if you like the behind the scenes stuff like design work.

it's much easier to find Art of Starcraft 2 or Art of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm than Art of the Witcher. Can't wait to see if there will be any Art of Witcher 2 on eBay or other marketplace :-)

This is why I bought a physical copy of TW2 from Amazon. As much as I'd love to buy it from GOG and therefore give the devs a bigger slice of the profit, I much prefer having a nice boxed set with all the bonuses being physical and tactile. It's a shame because it's obviously cheaper for GOG to create virtual versions of the collector's edition bonuses and yet the physical copy I bought from Amazon was actually cheaper than GOG's digital version.

Oh I totally agree with you! I always bought my games from stores or ordered it online but I'm poorer now and ordering it online at a cheap price was best. However, I've been thinking that I'd get the artbook printed out at a printing shop so that I can have it available for me to look through on my shelf. I just wonder however, if I'd be overstepping some kind of boundary by doing that... O_o

I don't know for sure, but one of the purposes of PDFs is to be easy to print off as a proper book or document. Typically when things are made in PDF form, it's to facilitate printing it off. The usual thing in this kind of situation is that you're okay reproducing it for personal use. Ultimately, morally you're fine and legally you're fine insofar that a cop isn't going to drag you out of the printing shop and shout "So you thought you could illegally print off a PDF, did you!?"

I guess you're right about that. I've just never done it before and didn't know of the makers of the Witcher would mind or not. And haha that'd be an interesting predicament.
