Arte Stella Piccolo comparison


Hi! I wrote a review of the new edition of Arte Stella: Piccolo.








Both books have exactly the same content, but Piccolo is smaller, like manga size, and doesn´t have any goodies, no cards, no poster, just the book.

On the left, Piccolo, on the right, the first edition.



Cover



Back cover



Under the dust jacket is the same illustration of Arte Stella.



The other back cover.



The content is exactly the same. I checked both books page by page.










Piccolo is a good option if you can´t afford the regular edition of Arte Stella and just want the illustrations for a cheaper price.

Mod here. Thank you for sharing! But your preview image is too tall--please add "HEIGHT=300" to the end of the img src code for your preview image to scale it down properly.

thanks for this :D
I had the first edition and attempted to get the Piccolo when it was announced to be released ^^" I didn't know about the differences, but now I get it before I decide to buy the book :))

thanks again :D

Arte Stella is actually still available as I managed to get it recently as an entire set from ordering it online from the Kinokuniya Book store. They still have it in stock in their Los Angeles branch for a good price if you are still interested in purchasing the artbook set.

Edit: Here is the link to it. The store also sells Arte Stella Piccolo too.

Does it come with everything (card, etc?)

If it does, then the price is very good since most stores I've seen sold it at 100++

Yeap, it comes shipped in the ArteStella box which has the sticker sheet, double sided poster and the cards along with the artbook.

It's a good price in comparison to what I've seen on ebay with the sets at ridiculous prices of over 300$. I'm not doing any promoting here haha but if anyone is still interested in buying the set, that place is still selling for a good amount.
