Hello Kitty Collabs Hardcover – 1 April 2014

I already bought this book from another provider. I wanted this same book for my sister as she also loves HK. I thought the price amazing for its original RRP.It’s perfect, with minor unnoticeable wear.

On time, great condition and really good book.

Disappointing to be honest. Bought cos of my interest in character design and my intrigue as to how the character has lasted. I wouldn't call this an art book; at least not what I was looking for. It's more of a glossy catalogue of some products by other companies that have featured Hello Kitty. By that I mean many of the items presented are photographed in a way you'd expect to see them in a catalogue; there's not much 'artistic' photography going on. There is NO history of Hello Kitty. No introductory reason as to why the book exists ( I assume to celebrate the 40th anniversary ). No background to the character at all. Some of the collaborations are interesting, but there is NO mention as to how or why the collaborations took place. There is some writing about each company or person collaborating, but the writing is minimal with few actual interviews and the writing is mainly advertising that company or person without explanation of their collaboration with Sanrio.I don't really know what to make of the book. I think I may be more interested in the book ' Hello Kitty, Hello Art!: Works of Art Inspired by Sanrio Characters ' for some diversity

This is a gorgeous book. I'm a hello kitty collector and I'm really pleased with this! It's really big heavy book filled with amazing pictures and history of hk. The cover is so clever. Would highly recommend. For adults though!
