my sister really loves the artist Wei Liu and when i heard he/she had an artbook out i set out to buy it for her christmas present BUT i cant find it ANYWHERE. can anyone help me? it would make mine and my sisters day.

try amazon or barns and noble site and get the ISBN number, which is the special ranking number, if you have a barns and noble in your area you can order the book and then ship it to that store in your area or any book store and some stores can order that book based on the ISBN, and it also helps to write down as much infomation about the book as possible and then use that as well but nothing helps better than ISBN

i have tried both neither one of them has it. i got the ISBN number [btw i already knew what that was] its 986727013-4 but i still cant find it. thank you thou for your suggestions.

You can get it from books.com.tw
The listing for it is here: http://www.books.com.tw/exep/prod/booksfile.php?item=0010283773
I bought it from there, even though I don't know any chinese

thank you but its $60 there i cant afford that. i did find out that why its so expensive is that its out of print and that the artist will soon be putting out a new artbook. so i guess i will have to wait and see how much that one is. btw i talked to the artist herself and shes the one who told me about it being out of print and all. thanks much for your help.

OMG! I am trying to get this artbook as well. I am hoping my aunt can pull this one off for me. (and it's not even first print, the one i am trying to get is 2nd print) I am preying that no one will get to the buy button before my aunt does..

The artbook is extremely heavy and thick. it's almost like trinity blood's artbook.

Oh, I never knew she's going to have an other artbook out, that sounds interesting. where did you heard it from?

the artist has an account with http://www.deviantart.com/ i got the info about the artbook from her herself.

I just realized that she's deland-fox on DA. I hope the 2nd artbook will have more color scans than the 1st one. I downloaded the artbook on emule (just digital photo pics of the whole book). About 2/3 of the book were black and white images. So i was a bit disappointed at that.

oh really i did not know that i guess its a good thing i did not get my hands on it

I don't think the artbook is that expensive, i think the amount is in taiwanese dollars. So $500 will be like 50 chinese dollars, so that will be like around 7 to 8 bucks USD. But it's sold out, so i think the only way to get it is through auctions, so they might go a bit higher in price. My aunt just ordered mine yesterday. I hope it will arrive in time for my dad to bring back.

I think her artwork look better now. So I hope the 2nd artbook will exceed the first.

i agree i'm glad you were able to get her first artbook

If you like shel's artbook, you can get the new one(preorder) with the old one and free shipping on her DA page.

Wei Liu's style reminded me of Duo Brand a lot. Like Duo Brand, it's also a two people artist.

I was SO wrong before about how the artbook. When it's in front of you, the black & white pics loook much more beautiful because of its details. So if you do get a chance to buy, do get it.

i would love to but i'm really broke right now. it seems no matter how much money i seen to make i never get to spend any of it as it always goes to my sisters household bills. thanks for the links.
