If you happened to be looking for something awesome, but you weren’t sure what exactly constitutes being awesome, this book is a prime example.

“Breaking The Mold: The Developer’s Edition”, a new version of the Bioshock art book was revealed on Cult of Rapture. On March 16th, 2kGames began taking pre-orders for the new book that they call “the definitive BioShock 1 artbook.”

It is a 174 page soft cover book that measures 8”x10” and it will be available only on the Take-Two Store for $24.99. The book is “full of new art, stories about the game’s journey through its years of development, commentary from the team, an introduction by 2K Marin’s Executive Producer Alyssa Finley, several new sections, and much more.” 2k posted several pages from the book which all showcase never-before-seen art and stories, so one is only left to imagine what waits in the rest of the 163 pages.

For the next three weeks they will be accepting pre-orders, and if you order it now, they will ship it for free around the world.
