Amazon is running a buy one, get one 50% sale encompassing a wide selection of video game art books, manga, and novels. Many of the books are also seeing price cuts alongside the B1G1 deal, making it easy to save a bundle of cash while stocking up your bookshelves for the summer. Video games, toys, board games, and various other items are also eligible for the sale–so if you can’t find two books that catch your eye, be sure to check the entire catalog. Once two items have been added to your cart, the discount will automatically apply. Though Amazon doesn’t list an end date, it’s likely this sale will end this Sunday, June 16.
Because most of these books are discounted already, the promotion will often net you around 50% off the combined list prices of two books. For instance, you’ll only pay $62 for Elden Ring Official Art Book Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, while the total list price is $120. Another example is the beautiful complete editions of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods and Norse Mythology graphic novel adaptations. Listed at $125 each, with their current discounts and the promotion, you’ll pay $112.50 total for these complete editions, which is exactly 50% off.
This sale is in response to Target’s B1G1 50% event that launched earlier this week. Once you’re done checking out the deals at Amazon, be sure to swing by Target and see what’s up for grabs. You can also check out this great deal on the Kindle Scribe, which is now just $240 (down from $340).

Editor’s Note: If the discount is not applied in your cart, make sure that the book is shipped and sold by Amazon. Third-party sellers sometimes become the default option during these events, and you need to click “Other sellers on Amazon” and choose the option that is shipped and sold by Amazon instead.
Gaming Books
If you’re excited about Shadow of the Erdtree, take a look at the two Elden Ring art books up for grabs. The Elden Ring: Official Art Book Volume 1 clocks in at 432 pages and contains concept art, development art, and other details about the iconic game. You can pair that with the Elden Ring: Official Art Book Volume 2 for even more images detailing the enemies in the game, various weapons, and all the unique items you’ll find in The Lands Between. Other notable deals include Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Complete Official Guide (Hardcover, Collector’s Edition) for $27 (down from $45) and The Art of Final Fantasy 16 (Hardcover) for $23 (down from $40).
Manga and Graphic Novels
Tons of manga and graphic novels are included in the Amazon sale. Eligible titles include two gorgeous comic book omnibuses by Neil Gaiman: American Gods and Norse Mythology. Both are adaptations of Neil Gaiman’s prose works and normally retail for $125 each. They are discounted to $75 each, and if you buy both, you’ll save an extra $37.50. The pictures above speak for themselves, but these books really are stunning. American Gods released in 2021, while Norse Mythology was published by Dark Horse last December.
Some other highlights include the gigantic The Dark Tower: Beginnings Omnibus (Hardcover), which is 800 pages and takes place before the events of The Gunslinger, the first entry in Stephen King’s magnum opus.
