Ayami Kojimas artworks are stunning and her art books are pieces I always try to collect.

It must be said though this book is more of a booklet, a small collection of artworks and a comic chapter pertaining to the PS1 game Castlevania symphony of the night. It lacks descriptions and volume as it was made to fit in the games cd case.
