Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds (that’s quite the mouthful lol) is an amazing coffee table book (measuring 301mm x 228mm) which covers the decade that gave fans HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED, HALO 2, HALO 3, HALO WARS, HALO 3: ODST, HALO: LEGENDS and HALO: REACH.

This unparalleled book is full of lavish and groundbreaking artwork – including over 400 images, sketches, deleted scenes, commentary and concept art of weapons, architecture, characters and landscapes in various stages of development from over thirty artists (e.g., Isaac Hannaford, Shi Kai Wang, Frank Capezzuto, and Jaime Jones). Definitely a must for any hardcore fan of the HALO franchise. Master Chief himself would even want a copy! ;)
