Visual Experiments Lain is a Serial Experiments Lain anime artbook. It mostly includes screencaps, concept art, some illustrations and information in Japanese. The layout is highly experimental.
It was originally published in 1999. There was a reissue in 2013. Whether the contents were altered or not in the 2013 version is unconfirmed.
