Amazon is running a buy one, get one 50% sale encompassing a wide selection of video game art books, manga, and novels. Many of the books are also seeing price cuts alongside the B1G1 deal, making it easy to save a bundle of cash while stocking up your bookshelves for the summer. Video games, toys, board games, and various other items are also eligible for the sale–so if you can’t find two books that catch your eye, be sure to check the entire catalog. Once two items have been added to your cart, the discount will automatically apply. Though Amazon doesn’t list an end date, it’s likely this sale will end this Sunday, June 16.
Because most of these books are discounted already, the promotion will often net you around 50% off the combined list prices of two books. For instance, you’ll only pay $62 for Elden Ring Official Art Book Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, while the total list price is $120.
This sale is in response to Target’s B1G1 50% event that launched earlier this week. Once you’re done checking out the deals at Amazon, be sure to swing by Target and see what’s up for grabs. You can also check out this great deal on the Kindle Scribe, which is now just $240 (down from $340).

Editor’s Note: If the discount is not applied in your cart, make sure that the book is shipped and sold by Amazon. Third-party sellers sometimes become the default option during these events, and you need to click “Other sellers on Amazon” and choose the option that is shipped and sold by Amazon instead.
Gaming Books
If you’re excited about Shadow of the Erdtree, take a look at the two Elden Ring art books up for grabs.
