To see the book itself (which here is wrapped as it arrived from the printer to prevent fingerprints)
go to http://community.livejournal.com/gackt_army/618076.html

Note - cover is a deluxe fabric covered album with window, the window is embellished with flat square glass beads, the whole album also has a clear vinyl slipcover to protect it, (removed to take pics). Inside the fanbook is held in a clear plastic sleeve with a paper band. Second page is an embossed black on black paper, and a CD case with the same paper.
The CD was a fanvideo made last year with original images by Col.Shinimegami, burned by her and mailed to me.
Last is the package which was mailed off this morning!!!!!

CONGRATS EVERYONE! I HOPE YOU ARE AS HAPPY WITH THE FINAL PRODUCT AS I AM! *see notes for credits*

It's a year since calling for nominations from Members, since we hadn't produced a book before, it was a longer process involving more work than many of us thought it would be, but like our General of the Army, it's not worth doing if it isn't done well, ne?

After taking noms from members and creating a Select Commitee of Officers and doing a rough edit, Major Tanfouk took on the job of designing a prototype, from this we had our ideas for the final book.

Col Midori then took on the final design, (our thanks to Hayashi Yuo for the cover dog-tag image) and created an online version as well as prepared the file for a printed version. General Karadin and Col. Midori resourced the printing, costs of printing the book donated by Col. Wongkk.

This would not have been possible without the efforts of everyone who contributed to the book - THANK YOU
