Despite its ultra-narrow audience, it broke #30,000 on Amazon.com's sales rankings.<br /> <br /> A follow up volume, called [[The Ark II — A Compendium of Japanese Character Designs|The Ark II]] was released on July 10, 2008, featuring Japanese character models.<br /> <br /> ISBN 1600100805<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * The cover image does not actually ''use'' the character models contained within the book. Wow.<br /> * Early promotional art for this book had the alternate subtitle ''A Complete Compendium of Transformers Animation Models,'' and as of this writing the book is still listed on Amazon.com using that subtitle.&lt;sup&gt;(Feb-27-09)&lt;/sup&gt;<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Ark 1}}<br /> [[Category:IDW titles]]<br /> [[Category:Reference texts]]</div>
