Can someone post scans or just photo shots of some of the contents or the back cover and spine? Because I've been considering buying this since it came out but I've always wanted to scope out the book so If someone can snap some pictures of it, I'd be really appreciative.

Unless someone gets to the task quicker, I can take some inside pictures later today.

However, I will say that this is an essential book for all TMNT fans. It's full of thumbnails and layouts and finished art and sketches and darn near everything Kevin could give us concerning all of the TMNT books he ever worked out. Really, really, awesome.

I completely agree with Rose...this book is chock full of great pieces of art and Kevin keeps it flowing real nice...definately one of those "cover-to-cover" readings...

Ironically, I watched Mark Bode draw a copy of that picture at Comic-Con this year.

When did you buy it? After seeing the Heavy Metal site listing I'm thinking of getting it, but not if it'll take months.

Also how much is S&H?

haha Rose and tookie should get commission for helping sell this book now. I might have to go order it, especially if it's only 20 bucks.

I love how Leo's sitting on a big mushroom ... I wonder under what influence they were when they made up the Ninja Turtles ...

You know, after all these years, I have never thought of that... I mean, REALLY, it is a pretty crazy having a bunch of turtles being ninjas... they much have been on something to come up with something as crazy as that...

I'm really sorry, totally forgot that I posted in here! It took about three weeks to ship, and I honestly can't remember how much it cost, sorry!

But seriously, it is well worth it, a treasure-trove of TMNT history!!!
