Like artbooks for other anime series, the 80-page VEL includes plenty of screen shots, conceptual drawings, original illustrations, and informational text in Japanese. Text aside, VEL is simply great to look at. VEL is not a book of original illustrations, so the work of Yoshitoshi ABe (original character designer) is not heavily featured. On the other hand, it does include some excellent full-color illustrations by Takahiro Kishida, who drew the animation character designs. - misceLAINeous
