Is there anywhere to view samples of the book? More specifically the MK stuff.

this book sucks for Mortal Kombat, but the art that midway did for other games is pretty good. I bought the book and returned it, it was only like 10 pages long for the mk section mostly on MK Shaolin Monks.

So there's not much MK stuff in there? It still sounds like a cool purchase though.
