Vergil'sBitch says you can get it in the UK.
Also, I found a link from Play-Asia and eBay, I can post it here if you would like to.

I happen to be flying to the UK next Sunday, can you be more spesific about where did you get it in the UK?
I have a scanner combined with my printer, if I will be able to pick it for a reasonable price in the UK, I will scan it and upload it as a .rar file to Megaupload, Rapidshare, Fileflyer, 4Shared and some other hosting sites and post the links here.

You can get it in the uk through eBay, sadly there is no other way of getting it (that I know of anyway). But I've had my book for quite a while. You may be also be able to get it through Amazon.

Hm, and how much did you pay for your copy?

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

£20 :S I suppose it's bacause they're imported is the reason they cost so much :S

 

[Autumn]

Oh I want it! What is it? XD
............
I just ebay-ed it, it's being sold for nearly £80!? What the fudge?!
I don't want it that much... T_T
There's another one fro $19 but they don't ship to UK. :/

 

[Vergil'sBitch]

^that's the problem.
I know there is a book for DMC3, can't remember what It's called, but I've seen it for $90+

 

[Autumn]

Jeeze, with inflation and everything, being a fan is becoming an expensive hobby!

Are you talking about the Note of Naught book?
There are tons of artbooks and stuff for each game in the series, but I'm intrested just in the special, never-before-scanned one which comes with a DVD.

Yeah, I found that one too, was kinda ****ed they don't ship to my country neither. I
have a friend in the USA, might ask him to order it and I'll send him the money. Maybe this January.
And for the "what is it?" part of your comment, I'm pretty sure the original post answers it quite well.

I've ordered the Trinity of Fates book (the second thing CAPCOM released especially for the 5th Devil May Cry Anniversary, it is a artbook with a lot of info about the games, character, etc.) which comes with a DVD and got it a few days ago, was intrested in that book for a while.

It's a nice book, some great art and pictures that provide the relationship between characters, and the DVD is epic, it's basically like a movie made out of the first 3 games' cutscenes and gameplay. The DVD also has the first 2 Devil May Cry 4 trailers from 2005, when it was still a PS3 exclusive (this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ-ajWP1FSY and the one with Dante showin' off his skills using a camera).

I got it for 19.99$ and a 10$ shipping in a very good condition from a Japanese seller. However, this book was only released in Japan, and it's written in Japanese, so if anyone here knows how to read and translate Japanese, I will be glad to share the scan with him and then share a translated version with the community.

That's what the "..........." implies XD
I'm not even going to bother looking at all this awesome stuff since I can't afford it this side of X-mas/ NZ T_T

Well, you can download most of the things online, the only collectibles I've got so far that doesn't come with a game are the Devil May Cry 4 Special DVD and the Trinity of Fates Film DVD Book. I've got tons more saved on my computer, but I haven't paid for them lol.

Wow, I'm a little surprised. I've had this book for years, got it not long after the game came out. I got it after the other artbook. I even ripped the DVD and format it for PS3 compatibility. Actually, the link posted above to IGN is for the tread I started.

A while back I made a torrent of DMC materials I had. It totaled 15 gigs. It was videos, books, music, and the anime drama cds, and I included the DVD rip from this book. Unfortuanetly there was practicly no intrest so I deleted it a month latter.

Well then, can you please upload the book's scans and DVD to Megaupload or such, so that we will be able to download it and share it on the web?

 

[berto]

I don't have the means to scan the book, nor to upload to the net, currently speaking to you from my tablet, but I'll see if I can borrow someones computer. You'll have to wait a bit. Then again, I remember I uploaded a couple of videos to crunchy roll, they might be the ones. Its been so long since I used crunchyroll I'd forgot I done it.

So, in actuality the video's been on the net for a few years now, uploaded it to the net twice but it just doesn't seem to circulate.

Thanks for the link, I will find a way to download it and will put a downloadable link in the OP.
You've uploaded all of the DVD, nice.
This will help a lot to this topic, thanks again for your huge donation.

Edit:
The book in the IGN link isn't Saber of Savior, it's the Material Collection Artbook (http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:..._89CM7LLBsLJl5Gv0PadEjnnuihSYRghfWeDfGkYfPI9A), are you sure the DVD you've uploaded is from Saber of Savior and that the book you own is Saber of Savior?

 

[berto]

Yes, I am, because I have both books and the Material Collection didn't have a DVD and there are no other DMC4 books that come with a DVD.
