This deluxe edition sold out so quickly that the money grubbers went back and issued a second printing of 1000 with a different lithograph--and then a third printing of 1000 with a different lithograph!

But this is the first with a lithograph of a red spiraling arrow pointing at a baby of sorts. (The second lithograph was a woman, the third lithograph was a creepy clown.)

This ridiculously massive tome is the first ever comprehensive look at the personal and project artwork of Tim Burton. 11.25 x 12.25 x 1.75 inches
