aaaaaaaah...
Sorry mate,
My granmother said it was the last copy, i honesly didn't think she could find it anywhere... the funny thing is that she was like: "i got the book, but it's all pictures, some pictures of skeltons and stuff, is that it?"

1) get banned
2) get seriously pwnd by the members
3) be a traitor to VALVe
and btw, the book will be in my hands in:
T-54 hours and counting
i'm just SO shocked i could get this book in 2 days!

If you guys are going to be getting scans and whatnot, take it to PM (IE don't let me know about it) since I'm forced to do something about it if you do illegal crap on here.

Enjoy RTB, it's truely phenomenal :)

i don't think anyone else here is addicted to HL as much as i am, 3 nights ago i dreamt i was gordon and the grunts in HL1 were attacking me. it was so cool when i was escaping throught the vents, and the coolest part was, when i came out from the other side, there was this grunt waiting for me in the corner, so i was like omg, i'm pwned...!!!
really cool book as i've heard, T-39 hours and counting... weehee!

It's pretty cheap now I think. I saw it for $20 at the local EB. I may pick it up as well.

Pre-ordered. From an artist's point of view, the book is terrific. VALVe has a superb art team, and Dhabih Eng's work nearly gave me a heart attack. I didn't know photoshop could do that.
