   Here is more information on the book and the artist.   
      
      
      
   I got to look at the outside of the book earlier today   
   at the Kinokuniya Manga shop at Webster and Geary.  It is the   
   most massive single manga volume I have ever seen(well maybe   
   my experience of big manga in large volumes is limited).  But it   
   larger than the Showa volumes and thicker.

   I personal own over 50 volumes of Tezuka's work.  Although he passed away in   
   1989, his stuff holds up extremely well.  I especially love the future he   
   envisioned in Tetsuwan Atomu (from 1950s) and The Phoenix.  I often wonder   
   what new story ideas he could have come up with if he was introduced to the   
   Internet and advances in computer technologies.
