Ah, the infamous Aria of Sorrow artbook. How does one obtain such a treasure? These days, buying it from a Japanese auction site is the only answer, but this book was originally given out to those people rabid enough to preorder the game.

This isn't all Aria artwork, but a collection of illustrations for games from Symphony through Aria, including a number of character design sketches that show costume development. Cool.
