About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
This book has been delayed for months, but finally has a release date of 18th August 2023. It's said that the delay was due to the imminent release of the DLC, but I don't have my copy to hand just yet (was dispatched by Blackwell a few days ago).
This is still technically a pre-order, but it should be delivered next day for Prime customers as it's dispatched and sold by Amazon UK.
I'm really looking forward to reading through mine when it arrives! RRP (and price at all other retailers bar one, but they charge £3.99 slow delivery) is £39.99, so this is a good deal. Lowest it's been on pre-order is £35.19 from Blackwell, again, it's slow delivery though. It's £35.99 from them now.

sorted byThis has been delayed so long now, almost a year I think! No chance it'll come with DLC content though given DLC hasn't even been announced yet - Vol 1 didn't either.
Interestingly despite my preorder being in months ago and the release date of the 18th, my delivery date isn't until the 23rd... Bear in mind in case you're hoping to have it for the weekend.
Yeah I have no clue why it went out of stock unless the preorders were enough to drain the entire stock? I got mine from Blackwell and it arrived yesterday. Paid £35.19
Is that not a deal?
It's immaculately presented, and came with half a dozen large postcards showing scenery artwork from the game.
The book focuses on items, builds, enemies, weapons, etc rather than a walkthrough. For those that know the game well, there's probably nothing new, but for others it's an excellent source of information. There's a substantial interview with Miyazaki as well.
Sadly, there seems to be nothing relating to the upcoming DLC as I had hoped/expected. Maybe we have to wait quite a while longer for that...
They can also be considered as investable as well, for example the Bloodborne guide sells (last time I looked) for around £100.
Personally I'd have liked to see a bit of a lore deep dive, but I guess we have to wait until after the DLC to paint a better picture
