Amazon’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday NOVABOOK18 discount has been a boon for Dungeons & Dragons fans. The deal allows you to take an additional $5 off any physical book that Amazon sells when you use the code at checkout on a total book purchase of $20 or more (can only be used once per Amazon account). Yesterday, we posted a huge list of Dungeons & Dragons books that take advantage of the code, and many of them are still available with total discounts that are at or very near all-time lows. Both editions of the Dungeons & Dragons Art & Arcana books are on that list, and they are actually even cheaper today then they were yesterday. In fact, the discounts go as high as 64% when you factor in the NOVABOOK18 code.
As noted, Dungeons & Dragons Art & Arcana: A Visual History is available in two flavors. The standard edition is available here, and it is currently on sale for only $17.92 (64% off) with the NOVABOOK18 code. The Special Edition of the book is available to order here for $52.29 (58% off) when the code is factored in. I own the standard edition of the book, and it is magnificent, going for the Special Edition is going to be well worth it at this price. However, you should check out yesterday’s list of Dungeons & Dragons books to see if there are any adventures that you would prefer to use the code on. Keep in mind that Amazon has extended the NOVABOOK18 promotion until December 1st, but the standard discounts on these books could end at any time.
