http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1926778170/ref=cm_cr_mts_prod_img is the book I bought. Not the same as Pink's, lol. It's the same one that's been out in Japan since early 2008. Oh, and my favourite bit of the book, bizarrely, were the quick drawings of in-game items that we only see as icons. (SO THAT'S WHAT A SAP PLANT LOOKS LIKE!). Some of my favourite descriptions: - Binoculars. These binoculars are made from the spine of a Velociprey or Apceros. The bone marrow is removed, leaving two natural tubes. The transparent parts of a Velociprey's eyes are used as lenses. - Fire Herb. This variety of cactus plant grows directly out of the ground, usually around Volcanoes. Its roots grow deep and spread out over a wide range in search of water, making nearly impossible to unearth a Fire Herb with its roots intact. The most common way to harvest a Fire Herb is to use a sharp blade to cut off the 'leaf' that is above the ground. Fire Herbs have a tendancy to explode when it comes in contact with any source of fire, making a considerable threat to both monster hunters and miners alike. Toadstool: The Toadstool grows and feeds upon the body of a dead animal, drawing the nutrition it needs from a rotting carcass. The physical size and potency of the poison depends entirely on the creature the Toadstool is feeding off of. There is an old tale that tells of a Toadstool that fed on the corpse of a Plesioth deep within the dense forest, and that Toadstool was said to have grown to a height of 6 metres. BEST MENTAL IMAGE EVER.
