Who here has heard of the Halo Encyclopedia? I searched and found a thread mentioning it in April, but other than that I haven't seen anything on here about it. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into my local Borders yesterday and saw that they had one on display.
I got a chance to flip through it, and there's some realy awesome stuff in there. There's detailed summaries of just about everything, and some large size artwork. The SPI art from the Art of Halo 3 book was in there, but about ten times bigger. Many of the weapons (most notably the BR and AR) have side, front, and rear profile views, and all of the weapons have detailed specs (especially size). There's also a really sweet chart showing the full lineup of ammunitions used.
I think that this book is an excellent resource that will be worth its $40 price tag. It's like a print version of the Halo Wiki, but better.
Thoughts, anyone?
