[Literature] A Quick Look at the Shovel Knight: Official Design Works Cover & Other Book News

When we first covered the news of a Shovel Knight: Official Design Works book, although we provided plenty of news about the work, the one thing we couldn’t divulge was its cover. But we promised to do a follow-up and this is that follow up, so get ready for a lot of Shovel Knight book news as there is plenty to cover, but first, here’s that cover:

While Official Design Works is set to release on the 29^th of August, 2017, consists of 184 pages and can be pre-ordered on amazon.com, amazon.ca and amazon.co.uk, there are plenty of other Shovel Knight books that will be seeing release this year. In fact those books have actually released already and Yacht Club Games has taken the time to do a whole post on them, so naturally we’re going to share the content of that post right here:
