The books arrived today! I can't really believe that it only took five days AND did arrive at my doorstep with no trip to the customs office at all. Grasping all the detail in these will take quite some time.
For anyone who only wants to order one of these books - here are some additional details that could help. First, the level of pornography and violence is FAR higher in the 2011 book. If that's just not your cup of tea, order the first. That doesn't mean that these elements pervade the whole book - but at this size, they're quite a shock while thumbing through. Second, the 2007 book is just stuffed to the brim with sketches. If you think that's just more for the money and don't mind itty-bitty detail and sketches literally edging into the softcover binding, go for the red. If you're more into individual sketches presented in large format, go for the white 2011. I'm not yet sure which one I like better, so these first impressions are really just that.
@flash: I doubt it, I really do. It looks like Kim Jung-gi and David are content to sell these books on their own. Any retailer who picks them up would have to charge far more than he himself has paid for delivery. If you want them, order via the e-mail address Parka provided. It has been a painless experience for me - yet not for my wallet of course. ;)
