I have a gift certificate for the BOS website store and would like to get a few BOS convention books and am not sure which to choose (I already have all of the booklets I am interested in). I already have Autumn 2008 and Autumn 2009. I saw on flickr some cute models of Evi Binziger's elephant and that is in the Autumn 2006 collection so maybe that one would be good. Any others that are particularly good? or how about Fujimoto's Rittati...is it very complex? worth having?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Re: BOS Convention books - which to choose?
the latest one is pretty good. one of the 2002 ones has kawahata's pegasus in it. Spring 2008 is really the one to go for though- it is pretty massive, loaded wiith awesome models such as mark bolitho's elephant, ken yonami's pelican, nicolas terrry's extinct bird, kawahata's wild boar, koh's horse , gilgado's 'last dragon' , and max hulme's excellent multi piece forklift truck.

On this topic: are the "CD Model Collections" that BOS sells for various conventions a digital version of the convention book or something else?

Re: BOS Convention books - which to choose?
Thank you, anonymous person! Those all sound good. There is not much information about these books available so I appreciate your recommendations.
fncll, I actually have the cd versions and not the books of the two convention collections that I have. They look to be the exact pages of the convention books. They include the table of contents and all the diagrams (Autumn 2008 has 70 models and and Autumn 2009 has 58 models).
