The books:
The Big Butt Book
The Big Book of Pussy
I'm still waiting for the The Big Books of Breasts to arrive.

Uh, are those seriously just books of butts and boobs and vaginas? <_< you gonna proudly display them on your coffee table?

Oh, and this stuff too
The books:
The Art of District 9: Weta Workshop
Massive Black Vol 1
The Art of Alice: Madness Returns
The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants
The Skillful Huntsman
The Big Butt Book
The Big Book of Pussy
Hows that Massive Black Vol 1 book?
Awesome custom game-room carpet get!
What I did - ran an EMU (ZSNES) and spliced together several screenshots. I had to pixel-edit the backdrop to get it to fit properly. then I blew the whole thing up to 4'x8', without any antialiasing or interpolation, and had a photo-rug company make a 1:1 print!
WORTH IT.
That is ridiculously awesome right there.
I just googled the book names and those books are exactly what you think they are.
What is this? Just a collection of pictures showing female genetalia?
I have it, it's pretty good. The second volume is coming out soon.
It's also got interviews. That makes it fancy.
ZING!

Apparently. Pretty creepy in my opinion. If I saw that in someone's house I'd probably turn right back around and leave XP.
EDIT: thanks for the description. Now it's slightly less creepy but still super-weird.

Why is it creepy? It's nothing I'd buy but creepy? It's part of the female anatomy... It's what you came out of when you entered this world.

You really think people who are buying a book called "the Big Book of Pussy" are buying it because they want to read interviews and theory about the vagina as a symbol and blah blah etc? ;P just like the people who buy Playboy just for the articles?
Vaginas in and of themselves = not creepy. A book of people sharing their favorite vagina pix or maybe their own vaginas = creepy. it sounds a little intense.
Edit: Sorry guys, I shouldn't keep the thread going with this derail. No more Vagina-book discussion from me XP

There's quite a bit of text (English, German and French). There's a foreword by the author, brief historical notations and several interviews within as well. Of course, there are shit load of photos, going back to the 40's up to present day. I'm not shy about my appreciation of the female body.
You must be new here. You don't remember Toy Soldier's pick up posts at all, do you?
It's lovely. Can't wait for Vol 2. They keep on delaying it. It's supposed to come out in February.
The Big Book of Legs is missing!
and penis, for that matter.

I felt that the leg book would have been redundant and kind of pointless. I actually considered getting the penis book for shits and giggles, but felt it would be dumb to waste that much money on a joke purchase.
I guess I can say I'm a bit sexually depraved and prefer women who are the same. I'm not into really freaky, kinky shit. I'm just really comfortable about certain, so-called, taboo subjects. You know the adage, "She's a lady on the streets, but a freak in the sheets" I like cosmopolitan, smart girls who are a little bit crazy and have a sinister side. I like a woman who has a mix of trailer park/ ghetto fabulous, but is also educated, well-mannered, clean and refined. I love duality, contrast and juxtaposition. I know plenty of girls who wouldn't mind me having these kinds of books. In fact, a lot of my female friends would think these books were cool as hell. However, having a giant ass book with dicks would probably send the wrong message to any prospective lady friend. I would have a hard time explaining why I'd have it on my shelf :P

FYI, the introduction and the interview with Buttman were both funny as hell. Buffie's interview was kind of boring. R. Crumb's is creepy as hell, though, I'm not all too surprised.

Not to derail the thread, but, I own the Suicide Girls coffee table book. Really I was more into that kind of girl in college, but, now it's a nice remembrance. I was into Bettie Page and the like back then. Kat Von D, Dita, i suppose is that in a contemporary sense.

Custom iPhone 4S case. So cheesy.
My computer bit the dust early in the month so I had no way of posting my pickups for several weeks.
However, my friend lent me an old PC so now I can finally post the stuff I've gotten from Black Friday through today!
Some random finds at Goodwill.
The Saturn stuff was bundled together for $15 and Monopoly is still sealed and was $0.99!
So annoyed that I couldn't beat the second last boss in Batman! Arghhhh!!!!
Hopefully Nintendo releases it on their virtual console soon
It's been a long journey but I only have 3 left until I own everything.
Nujabes feat. Apani B - Thank You
Nujabes feat. Shing02 - Luv (sic) Pt. 2
Nujabes - flowers/after hanabi
It's going to be fun taking a group shot of everything once I get those last 3.
Very cool. Would love to own Luv (sic) Pt. 2 one day. Favourite Nujabes joint

sweet i ll get them.
(Almost) the last pick-ups of the year:
Well, digital gaming was big this month
Humble Bundle #4 - in my opinion it was one of the best Indie Bundles. Very nice.
Indie Royale Christmas Bundle - pre ordered it.
Empire Earth & Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath from GOG - EE was free. Didn't play both yet
Mighty Switch Force - quite short. Let's hope for a free update ...
Steam Sale - nice prices for nice games. Oh, and I won Portal 2 by crafting 7 pieces of coal
And here I present you the "Christmas Haul":
Jenaer Holzbock Whisky - It's a Single Malt distilled in my home town. The place which distils it has a long tradition in brewing beer and some spirits. Now they distilling whisky and this is one out of their first casks. Didn't try it yet, but almost tried it two days before Christmas in the local pub. Glad I didn't
Lenovo Thinkpad X121e (AMD E-450 version) - present from me to me Installed a Win 7 64Bit with a Linux Mint 12 64Bit in dual boot mode. Fun fact: It worked with Mint out of the box and Win 7 wasn't really functional with out downloading the right drivers, lol. I'm pretty satisfied with the machine, but the touchpad is a mess.

These are probably my pickups of the decade! Two Alaskan Klee Kai puppies!
This little guy is Dexter
And this is Arya
I got a bunch of other stuff this month like a new computer and a TV, but none it feels nearly as important as them
Beautiful dogs.

It's a promo horned helmet that Sony gave away to members of the press prior to the release of ICO (the original release, not the latest HD/3D remake.) It's quite rare.

Welcome to the pack!!
As someone who owns two Huskies let me give you a piece of advice: buy a furminator! It'll be the best purchase you'll make outside of those beautiful pups ^^MikeE21286

I love it! It's also a great mug too, really big.
I wanted the water bottle for Christmas, but alas

You missed the important one: The Art of Oddworld!
I have a leather-bound edition of it. Great pickup.
Funny how many times I died at the beginning just getting that shot
How did you scale it up without aliasing?
p.s. I'd feel bad about putting my feet on it

The Alice art book is so damn nice. I flipped through it at Fry's and was floored by how gorgeous it was.
