ESO coffee table books

Beardimus

Interested to know what artwork / coffee table books there are for ESO (not Skyrim)

I've seen imperial edition and
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tales of Tamriel Vol 1&2

Are these any good? Any others?

Eeek, I guess I'm the only nerd!

Sorry. I don't have "real books" at all any more, gave all 2k+ of them to one of husband's granddaughters. I have e-readers with all the books now, and stuff on coffee tables just has to be dusted all the damn time.

The best coffee table books imo would be the first two CE art books. One from the Imperial Edition launch, and one from the Morrowind CE. Both are filled with stunning art and some fairly well written stories. Summerset's CE art book was then almost a quarter of the size (still a good read, and very pretty, but not coffee table sized). Elsweyr didn't have a CE which is criminal given the high quality art direction, and Greymoor's CE didn't have an art book at all

Then there's the Hero's Guide to ESO collection, which was a limited run (with a numbered plaque inside) of three "books". All too small for coffee tables imo. There's a short alchemist's journal which is really well presented and has some great art within. An arms manual which is... not much of anything. And the main book which looks absolutely beautiful with gold leaf, but there isn't much quality art to speak of, and the writing is god awful to be honest. It's the only book of the lot I couldn't finish because of the writing quality and "story" setup.

All together they make a good display though, and I placed mine on some sheep's skin and roe deer antlers like the official presentation for the Hero's Guide had, in my display case

As far as I know there haven't been any Elder Scrolls art books except for the ones which occasionally come with collector's editions of the games. Which surprises me, I'm sure if they did a book (or even a series of books) showing how the art has developed from Arena to ESO it would be popular.

Maybe it's better for me that they haven't, we've got a silly amount of art books in this flat already (especially since we don't have a coffee table to put them on) but if one was available I'd get it!

I've actually been wondering about this topic myself, an excellent post. I will be following as would like to know of any Elder Scrolls books with more lore and stories, rather than graphics, and people's recommendations
