1. Art of Tangled - This is one of the best "Art of" books I've seen yet. Loads of concept art, character designs, and commentary. I liked that it didn't shove pages and pages of screenshots of the movie like some other "Art of" books tend to do. I would highly recommend it to fans of the movie, fans of Disney, or just a fan of illustration.
2. Icons: The DC Comics & Wildstorm Art of Jim Lee - A great addition to any comic book lover's library. The book spans Jim Lee's career and gives lots of good commentary. I loved that the book showed the different stages for many of the drawings. I tend to avoid art books that are simply just full of printed pictures because I much rather enjoy gaining more insight into the finished product.
3. Walt Disney Animation Studios The Archive Series: Design - Another great artbook from Disney and a fantastic addition to the Archive Series. It's a beautiful collection of concept art that spans an enormous amount of time. I only wish there was more text to provide greater insight into the design process.
