Due to my contacts with many people collecting / selling Giger art, I know also where to get his rare, out of print early work catalogues. The problem is they are only avaible on specialised art book shops and quite costly, if purchased there. But as I'm anyway in contact with this shops, I thought offering here this books; ie the most rare ones, of which I know that they are avaible. I think this offer is just interesting for the really engaged collector, as this art book shops sell them very expensive. Occasionally, I can get them cheaper; then I will put them on ebay, to give everybody a chance to get them.
