Worthy Neo Geo/SNK related books?

[Ghudda]

Are there any good books relating directly to SNK history or artwork that are worth knowing about? I've always really enjoyed collecting coffee table art books and historical reference books for video games and thought maybe something like this existed for SNK or NG specifically.

I only have the first volume, but its a pretty decent book. Has lots of artwork from the Neo Geo world. These are officially licensed too.

Nice! These are actually the first books that I came across. How dense are they/How many pages is volume 1?

The only books specifically about Neo Geo/SNK are in Japanese. There are also general books/encyclopedias (English language) about video games which mention/have articles about the Neo Geo.

Volume 1 has 96 pages, so it is not a huge book but it does have some neat artwork inside. Covers eight games: Samurai Shodown 1&2, Fatal Fury 1,2, & Special,Art of Fighting 1&2, and King of Fighters 94. If you are into the artwork from these games, it is a pretty neat book.
