The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants is a stunning coffee-table book documenting the first ten years of Oddworld Inhabitants—from Lorne Lanning’s vision of the first Oddworld hero in 1994 to the present. Now presented in a special Collectors’ Folio Edition, the book is an extraordinarily high-quality, fine art publication documenting the story of the art and vision of Oddworld. It also shows how the design process maintains the highest standards of creativity and quality while evolving a whole world populated with odd characters that express rich and unforgettable personalities.

To celebrate the reprinting of one of Ballistic Publishing’s most successful titles, a Collectors’ Folio Edition of The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants with a limited print run of only 100 copies has been specially produced. Included with this exclusive Edition is a numbered "Certificate of Authenticity" individually hand-signed by Oddworld Inhabitants founders Lorne Lanning and Sherry McKenna.

The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants Folio Edition comes in an immaculately presented, hand-crafted display case with a purple ribbon to easily remove or place the Folio Edition. The specially reprinted Folio Edition uses the best printing processes available while every page has been re-processed for the finest possible reproduction. The cover features a new padded/stitched binding treatment with a weathered-leather appearance and varnished Oddworld title making it the most stunning Ballistic book yet!

Filled with stunning examples of beautiful artwork including production design sketches, color roughs, storyboards, game screens and CG/FMV stills, The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants features exclusive artwork from Oddworld Inhabitants that has never been seen before.

The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants is available in three editions: Hard Cover, Leather-bound Limited Edition, and now in this stunning Folio Edition for collectors. The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants begins shipping in February 2009.
