Dawn of Planet of the Apes is scheduled to released in June 2014. This is the companion artbook for the film as well as for the first film Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

The book is said to include the concept art, photography and I hope the making-of as well. It's coming out in June 2014.

100 Illustrators is a 720-page artbook that features specially selected illustrators that have been featured in the Illustration Now! series that Taschan has published over the years.

I'm not sure about the selection criteria but it should be interesting to see what the artists have to offer. Some of them include Istvan Banyai, Gary Baseman, Seymour Chwast, Paul Davis, Brad Holland, Mirko Ilic, Anita Kunz, Christoph Niemann and more.

The book is already out on Amazon UK, and will be out elsewhere in Feb 2014.

Publisher Abrams has scheduled The Art of DreamWorks Animation for April 2014.

This is going to be big. It is actually, at 324 pages. It's going to come with concept art, pre-production designs, character designs and more. It's DreamWorks Animation's 20th anniversary in 2014, and they have created 30 films to date. Included will be commentary from the artists and directors.

I suspect it might be similar in presentation to To Infinity and Beyond by Karen Paik since there are already many dedicated artbooks for DreamWorks Animation films.

This is going to be great!
