Any official English books that highlight the Pokemon TCG?

Hi

Pokemon TCG related books have always fascinated me. I came across both the Pokémon Card Game Art Collection and the Pokémon Card Game Illustration Collection at my Japan trip 11 years ago.

I thought that buying these were more efficient than buying cards, since they carry so much history. AND, they feature all these artworks without the distraction of words.

Fast forward 11 years later, and this is pretty much what I have accumulated.

Most of these are from here. Thanks to @kev for making the list. I aim to collect them all someday.

So I also have this.

"The Making of Shining Legends."
Inside it, has little bits of information on the shining legends set.

Nothing much. But you can actually see the ideas of the mew tube before it was finalized.

This booklet came from the Pokemon TCG: Shining Legends Super Premium Ho-Oh Collection, which I bought at the time of it’s release.

Now, I want to see if there are any more English books or booklets that have a similar focus to the PTCG like this booklet.

I know that the ETB playerguides have all the set cards printed out, but that’s not what I am looking for.

Are there any official books in English like this booklet that I have? Or is this the only one?

If anybody knows, please share. I would like to collect them just like @kev 's list above.

Thanks in advance!

Mannn, if I had a book like this it would further my connection with the cards, thus, draining more monies. SWEET book it looks like.

Honestly a great book. I believe you can get it on Ebay :slight_smile:.

I recommend all of them these books are great.

I’m not sure if it counts for your quest, but one of the books released in Japanese also got released in the 20th Anniversary Super Premium Collection:

I don’t remember how different it is to the Japanese version. Hope that helps a bit though!

Hi, thanks for the input!

This book is something I am eyeing on, however since I do have the japanese counterpart, I am holding my urge to buy it.

Plus, I kinda want to learn japanese near the future. JUST so I can read my cards and the book.

I do love the book. Hope everyone notices it alot more.
