Our Take: We love Tim Burton. Not in an admire his artwork from afar way..no, nothing that sane. I mean we LOVE Tim Burton. He is an absolute artistic genius and our fanboy cups runneth over with this new Art of Tim Burton book release. The director of such legenary films as Batman, Batman Returns, Beetlejuice, Sweeney Todd and more, Burton has created production art and personal artwork over the years and this collection has to be an enormous portion of that. When you get an art book its generally a sampling. This book feels more like an ultimate portfolio.
The contents include production art from Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Batman Returns, The Nightmare Before Xmas and other films. It also has a huge majority of original Burton art.
The book is heavy..and when I mean heavy I mean it weighs in at over 8lbs! The Standard Edition comes hardcover bound, while the Deluxe Edition is slightly different in design with a hardcover slipcase included. The Deluxe Edition also includes an autographed lithograph and are hand-signed by Tim Burton. I know there is a huge divide in cost between the Standard and Deluxe Editions..we’ re talking like $230 worth of divide, but its well worth the extra cost for any serious Tim Burton fan.

Standard Edition: Hardcover with over 1000 illustrations and 430 pages plus foldouts.
Deluxe Edition: Hardcover with cloth slipcase, Hand signed inside cover, Includes numbered and individually signed lithograph – ready for framing, not folded.
