Amazon UK are now taking pre-orders for the Limited Edition, listed at £66.99: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/150670378X/
That's the definition of insane.

Pricey, yep, but no more so than the US pricing was, and available to order for those who want it.
That aside, it's available more cheaply from Speedy Hen, at £45: http://www.speedyhen.com/Product/Ni...a-The-Art--Artifacts-Limited-Edition/21011976
I am getting an error saying that promo code is not valid any idea whats up?

I'd assume that, unfortunately, the promotion was only active for the holiday period, given the date of that earlier post and the text of the promotion code itself.
I think thats a safe assumption. Thank you!
EDIT: It can still be purchased at 40% off in US: $23 on Amazon FYI

Amazon UK have just cancelled my order for the Limited Edition 
Weve had to cancel Legend of Zelda Art & Artifacts Limited (Limited Edition) from your order as it's no longer available from our suppliers.

Same.
Typical Dark Horse.Happened with Final Fantasy, Hyrule Historia and this. Was suspicious of ordering from the start purely because it's Dark Horse. Amazon should check into the supplier for being unable to supply multiple times and letting orders run.

Indeed. I still have an order in place with Book Depository, but I'm not feeling overly hopeful about it.
I cancelled my order at Amazon.com after amazon.de put it up.
Now I got an e-mail from amazon.de saying they cancelled my order because they don't have enough copies *rolls eyes*
Just put in an order at Books Depository but I hate that they take money up front... They better not cancel it too =(.

I'm similar - I cancelled my Amazon UK and US orders when I ordered with SpeedyHen, then got my SpeedyHen order cancelled. Of course, when I re-ordered at Amazon UK I was at the back of the queue.
I also now have an order with Book Depository, and from an online chat this afternoon they tell me that they're expecting sufficient stock to fulfil it (ordered 18 January), not that I'm going to place too much reliance on that just yet. I noticed last night that Amazon Spain and Italy were both still taking orders, so I've put another order in with Spain for now to help my chances of getting a copy from *somewhere*.
The limited edition? :O Where did you order it?
Since my last post my Book Depository order had been cancelled as well and now I have it ordered at Archonia and Bol.com :/. Amazon Spain is still taking orders too, not sure if I should try there as well. Don't want to end up with three copies, but I also don't want to end up empty handed...

Is there any overlap with Hyrule Historia?
Post some botw pics
Not the LE no. Regular.
Although the store I got it from was having a contest where people who pre-order are automatically entered into a draw to also get the Limited Edition. Here's hoping.

My LE still says arriving on the 21st. Hope it doesn't get cancelled or something.

I don't think there's any difference in content. I believe the differences are the cover (with the plastic slip cover and the embossed design) and the gilded pages.
There isn't much for BOTW I'm afraid. Just a few pages and nothing new. They do have a rather nice foldout of the artwork of Link climbing a cliff in the foreground (which also happens to be my desktop wallpaper atm)
Looking at this pic I think I underestimated the 50% bigger than HH guess. Goodness.

I didn't know Zelda's robe will match Link's tunic color. That's neat.
I'll cancel my LE then. $50 ain't worth it for that.

Well, at least we got a comprehensive book.

Mine came in the mail today. Have looked through about half of it and it's amazing so far!

A corner of my copy's spine is all smushed up.
I got mine today too...this book is HUGE. Someone already posted a pic, but it about doubles Hyrule Historia in size. The amount of art is crazy, lots of it I have never seen before. I particularly loved the sprite pages.
There wasn't very much BotW art, and I believe I had seen it all before. There was a neat foldout page for it though. There's interviews in the back that are really interesting, including the one that mentioned the Hollywood actor thing about OoT Link.
Overall, this is definitely one of the better art books I have seen. This one is all art, with the text only being in the interviews in the back. It's better than Hyrule Historia IMO.

I got mine today. It's pretty much all art you've seen before in manuals, guides, etc., so it's not very interesting. Get Hyrule Historia instead if you don't have either book.
I ordered both. i didn't even know about Hyrule Historia until I went to buy this
Mine arrived today as well. Need to take the time to sit down and have a good read over it. Been waiting to see what's inside of it that I haven't seen before or don't remember. It's a lot bigger then I expected as well. Likely should have expected that since Hyrule Historia is pretty big as well.

My copy was supposed to get here on Tuesday. It isn't even out for delivery yet :/ I'll wait until this evening before I start to lose hope I guess haha. Book looks fantastic from the pics I've seen!

This might be the best gaming related art book, I've seen. The amount of content and quality is breathtaking. I specifically enjoyed the illustrations for some of the handheld games.
