Title: JOJOmenon Size: 11.6 x 8.9 x 0.4 inches So about the same height as a standard Artbook, but a bit wider. Rating: B-

Comments: The book almost seems more like a magazine, than an actual artbook. (Probably justified as it's editor is SPUR) The thickness of it is fairly small compared to most of the other artbooks, but it's jammed packed with goodies. Oddly enough, the first half of the print is completely dedicated to Araki himself. There's several articles about his encounter with Clint Eastwood, his trip to New York and other things. Directly in between the first and second half of the book is a smaller magazine which is actually the fully colored one-shot Rohan Kishibe Goes to Gucci. It appears to be removable, so one is able to read it without much hassle. The 2nd half of the book consists of some pictures of the JoJo art exhibit and some info about the jojo series. The back page has a bunch of JoJo stickers, which is pretty cool.

Overall, I paid about $20 for it off ebay, and I think it was a pretty good deal. As it is a bit on the thin side, I  think it'd be worth less than the other artbooks. There isn't really much JoJo art in the book, aside from the Rohan one-shot, so unless you're like me and simply want to add to your JoJo collection, then it may not be worth the buy. The best advice I can give is that if you're  looking for something that has a bunch of articles and pictures of Araki doing stuff, then this is the book for you.
