Did anyone buy "The Art of Hellboy"

[Kudama]

The computer at Borders said that this was coming out March 3rd.
Yesterday I went to the bookstore near my work to have a look see to decide if it was worth the money. They didn't have a copy.
I'm curious if any other fans have seen what's in this. I'm expecting concept art and I hope there are make-up, costume and prop photos.

Mainly: Is there a large body of art because I already know it's gonna be good.

"The Art of Hellboy"
or
"The Art of Hellboy: The Movie" ?
-- I've heard that many folks weren't too impressed with the recent release of "The Art of Hellboy: HC" (came out last year). You may want to ask at www.hellboy.com (forums) -- too expensive for me.

I have both & I for one loved the "The Art of Hellboy Hardcover". I don't know what one's problem would be with the book. Oversized newly colored Mignola art, rare art, stories explaining the art. What more could you ask for?

As for the movie book, I just flipped through it so far, Del Toro's introduction is great, but I think everything the man touches is great. I will say, if you aren't an absolute die-hard fan of Hellboy, the book is probably a waste of money.
