Diablo III: Book of Cain
In Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo® and Diablo II, the recurring character of Deckard Cain delivered quests, accompanied the brave adventurer, and, as the last of the Horadrim, provided a link to the greater history of the world of Sanctuary. Ever mysterious during these appearances, Cain hinted at a larger story, providing snippets of it in his notebook. Diablo III: Book of Cain is Cain’s formal record of this greater tale—a dissertation on the lore of the Diablo universe, told by one who has witnessed and participated in some of the epic events that make up the eternal conflict between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.
Designed as an “in-world” artifact from the Diablo universe, Diablo III: Book of Cain includes Cain’s revealing meditations, as well as dozens of sketches and color artworks depicting the angelic and demonic beings who wage constant war with one another.

Gives a nice, extra background info about the Diablo-verse
Gives a nice, extra background info about the Diablo-verse, esp the events leading up to and in and around Diablo 3. A nice, quick overview of important world events and history, without being too long or dry. Only complaint is the binding sucks. The paper is glued in a bundle to the cover, which is... a very heavily plastic coasted paper I am guessing... ??? IDK. Anyways, basically, it means the glue comes undone easily and by the time I was halfway through, the book part had come undone from the cover. The paper book part is still together fine, the cover and that part are just no longer together. Now, a pointer, as I also got the Book of Tyrael at the exact same time (has same binding issue, btw). IF you can't decide on which to purchase, I recommend this one the most. They both have almost the exact same info, with this one giving more insight into the events of the Diablo 3 game itself, as well as the events that led up to it and some the things that happen in the last two games. If you are a completionist, go for both, as there are a few tidbits in each that the other doesn't have but if I were to chose the better of the two, it is this one. It even has "notes" in it from Leah as she was reading through it after Cain's death. So again, perfect insight into the character's minds.
If you're a fan or someone entering Diablo III with no prior knowledge, this is your start !!!
Diablo III: Book of Cain is something every huge diablo fan or a newcomer alike should read before heading into this amazing game on its own. The book itself is truly like it came from the depths of hell. Blizzard has done a fine job of making sure the paper is really authentic and shows a lifelike representation of the world in which Diablo thrives. And even though it's so well made, the story and everything that ever happened in the world of this amazing franchise is written to the last detail. It's your go to guide for Diablo and you shouldn't hesitate to buy it. It's a must buy and quite unique and staggering to have on your bookshelf.
Damaged
Cool book. Content exactly as expected but had a few damaged areas on the cover. Did the seller even check before putting it in the box?
Great content, poor book quality
Great book! Lots of detail and background for the Diablo fan. Artwork is amazing. The book binding is horrible and immediately started to crack when gently turning pages. It's almost completely separated already after a few days
A good flashback on the the lore of Diablo
This book is a flashback touching on the lore spanning from events before the original Diablo game up to the introduction of Diablo IV. Some portions of this book was written in greater details found on other Diablo storybook or within the the lore accompanied with the game menu when 1 purchased the game. Overall an interesting read for a quick recap in the whole Diablo universe.
Could be better, though if you are a lore junkie it is good.
The book is physical amazing, well base and beautiful. The information contained is neat and a good lore book, though I expected more.
Great overview of the story so far and nice artwork
Nice artwork and I enjoy reading about the background of the previous two games plus the extra history. Only thing I didn't like was the edges of the pages. The edges were cut to make the pages seem worn but every page has the same overlapping cut that just takes away from making it look worn. Looks more like a machine pressed cut stamp that was pressed onto all the pages at once.
Was in new condition
Was in new condition. not sealed but had everything that was with a new copy. fast shipping no page wear spine was in brand new shape
Diablo Book of Cain
The artwork is great, the quality is high. It feels a bit mass produced while trying to be an old demonic tomb, but it's great none the less. I'd buy it for the money.
Great for a diablo franchise fan
Very nice book, any diablo fan would be happy to have this book in their library.
