There are quite a number of different Breaking Bad books out there, from an official guide, to quotes to once dedicated with fan art.
There are a few I don’t have, a number of unofficial guides and studies about the success of Breaking Bad that I haven’t picked up, and I think the only official ones I haven’t purchased are the cook books.
My favourite of these books has to be the 99.1% Pure: Breaking Bad Art book, a lovely looking book that came our in 2021, credited to Vince Gilligan. It’s a collection of some of the best fan art inspired by the series. It turns out during production the team would often highlight good art to decorate their offices, and it seemed only natural to showcase these artworks. There’s truly some stunning peices in there, and it’s worth owning this as a BrBa fan.
