Sucks that I don't speak French. These books look amazing. I also really hope English version will have Collector's Edition. I am always for worldwide equality.

I'm really interested to see what the book says about the first game. I don't think I've actually seen that much developmental stuff on that one.

Hope you'll find the Rayman 1 part interesting. I met quite a lot of people who worked on it : Michel Ancel, Fred Houde, Rémi Gazel (original composer), Stéphane Bellanger, Yann Le Tensorer (programmer), Serge Hascoët, JC Alessandri...

I'm sure there's lots of interesting info in the book.

I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition so I will be able to see those Rayman Legends' unseen drawings!

I might consider the later purchase of the English (Normal) edition of the book too. :P

I actually really kinda want this book now. It's probably the first piece of merchandise from the series I've really kinda wanted. :P

Once again, thanks guys.
@Haruka : The artbook is really nice. I'm glad Ubisoft artists send us these unseen material. Hope you'll like it too. I guess you already own the one in the Rayman Origins collector's edition ?

I do, I won the Collector's Edition of RO for PS3 back in 2011 from a Ubisoft fanwork contest. :)

Man, I really hope that the English version has the Collector's Edition. I received the Rayman Origins artbook and having this one will make it feel complete.

God save my wallet. But this book looks great; I'm looking forward to, at least, staring at the pretty pictures.

I can confirm what Motormike said because I got an e-mail from Pix N Love this morning to inform me that the dispatch of the book has started. Cannot wait!
