Just pick this one up, thought I share it with other Kenshin fans.
All the most current Kenshin manga and the Kenshin Profile book

preview 1
preview 2
preview 3

20 Page of color artwork.
180 Page of info and guide to the manga.

The book basically highlights a lot of what's going on in the manga. It goes into depth of the character and try to explain some of the mystery. There's a lot of text in this book, so kudos to Viz for translating all of them. Not a lot of new image, but the 20 or so page of art is pretty spiffy.

Looks cool, but kinda weird they put this out when the manga wasn't even finished yet. Oh well, same thing applied for the Japanese release.

Oops I forgot to mention that it covers only up to the middle of the Kyoto Arc. I think there's a second profile book that cover the 2nd half to the end. So yeah, it won't spoil anything if you finish the Kyoto Arc. There's also a interview with Watsuki, but it's pretty outdated. However, it's a pretty nice and comprehensive guide still, there's a lot of text and image on every page.

I also got the One Piece Color Walk Book 1. Pretty good.

As far as I remember, this one (originally Hiden in Japan) covers the manga until volume 12, actually... so it's not even the half.
The second one doesn't only cover the remaining volumes, but the entire series from beginning to end. That'd be what was originally called Kaden.

I don't know seems kinda pointless to me. If I'm going to be reading the manga what do I need spark notes for.
