This book is actually much better than I thought. Probably because I'm looking at them in full size instead of the small web images I found on the Internet.
It has a very satisfying thickness at 320 pages. The dust jacket is smooth, nice to touch, non-glossy over a soft cover. The paper stock is thick matte and the colour reproduction is wonderful.
Hundreds of artists have come together to contribute Street Fighter art for the book. As a result, the variety in terms of style is amazing. Some of the styles included are manga, realistic caricature, chibi, game art, vector and many other.
I've read of artists who blogged about their work being rejected. I can understand why because the quality of artwork in this book is very high.
UDON has also allowed artists to promote their work on their individual blogs. Over the past few months, I've seen a lot of artists blogging about their art and the book. It's really great to finally see the book in print.
This art book belongs to the you-can-enjoy-it-even-if-you're-not-a-Street-Fighter-fan category.
It's well worth every single cent I spent, and I'm not a Street Fighter fan.
There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.

I'll be honost; I'm fairly recent to the Street Fighter series, having just purchases Street Fighter IV about a year ago. I'm what you would call a casual fan. I heard good things about this book from various sites and decided to order it. It was worth every penny.
It has a very high quality feel when you have it in your hands. The pages are nice and thick, with no bleed through. The sheer amount of artwork, (roughly 300 pages) is staggering, as is the number of artistic styles, and mediums used. Each of the 300 drawings is done by a different artist, so no two pictures look overly similar. Virtually every playable character that has ever existed in the series makes an appearance (with an exception for the new SUPER Street Fighter 4 characters, but hey, that wasn't out when this was made).
The quality of the color and details for each picture is extremely high, no grainy-ness whatsoever. I can not stress how vibrant the colors look.
Whether you're a casual fan, someone relatively new to the series like myself, or someone who's been a fan since leaving their quarters on the arcade cabinets to reserve a match, you need to get this art book.

Street Fighter Tribute is a book held together with a love for all things Street Fighter. I'm more of a casual Street Fighter fan and picked up this book on a whim. Its essentially a book of Fan Art, but nearly all the artists are experienced professionals who all submitted some amazing pieces. Even lesser known characters are featured and drawing with stunning detail. I can't recommend Street Fighter Tribute highly enough, if you are a Street Fighter fan you need to own this book.
