The Art of Final Fantasy books to be re-printed
Good news collectors! If you missed out on the very limited print run of The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy and have been crying yourself to sleep every night it turns out that just like most of the games in our beloved franchise - there is a happy ending in sight!
The books contain 708 pages featuring a comprehensive collection of all of Amano's artwork for the series up until 2001 along with a few special bits and pieces he made especially for the books. There's even some pieces that have been previously unpublished!
Only 1,000 were originally printed in English and were snapped up quicker than hot cakes on a cold winters day. But! Dark Hose has now confirmed that they're putting these volumes back in print and are aiming for a June 19th release for around $89.99
From the publisher:

Previously available only as a part of the now sold-out The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy Boxed Set, Dark Horse is pleased to offer fans another chance to own the three-book hardcover set The Sky I, II, and III, included in the new The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy Slipcased Edition!
The Sky I, II, and III showcase Amano's ethereal illustrations for the first ten Final Fantasy games! Each hardcover book in The Sky Slipcased Edition is 11 5/8" high by 10 5/8" wide, and printed on glossy stock. Volume 1 contains Amano's work for Final Fantasy I-III. Volume 2 contains his contributions for Final Fantasy IV-VI, and volume 3 features his art for Final Fantasy VII-X.
The slipcase containing The Sky I, II, and III features the same wraparound exterior artwork as The Sky Boxed Set, with a double-hinged flap that folds around the open edge and is held flat to the back side with a hidden magnetic closure, making it easy both to remove the books and to display the set closed.
