What is an artbook?

What is an artbook? An artbook is a compilation of illustrations. Regarding Candy Candy, those arbooks are signed by Yumiko Igarashhi, the manga illustrator. There is no artbook about the anime. You'll find here images of the four artbooks (though the Chinese artbook is a compilation of the artbooks 1 and 2's of 1978-1979) There are other artbooks that are rarer, that you can find on the website Candyworld.
