Cosplay in America is a coffee table book filled with spectacular full color photographs of cosplayers from anime conventions in the United States. The photographer and mastermind behind the book is Ejen Chuang. Chuang photographed approximately 1,651 cosplayers over a five month period in 2009 in order to gather the images for the book.

The final product features 272 pages with 260 cosplayers. The photos were taken at Anime Expo, Otakon, Fanime, A-Kon, AnimeFest, and Anime Weekend Atlanta.

The book retails for $40, and it is only available online at cosplayinamerica.com or at various convention artist alley tables. However, The Convention Fans Blog has been given a copy of Cosplay in America, which has been signed by Ejen Chuang, to give away to one lucky reader!

The founder and creator of The Convention Fans Blog is Kelly Rowles. She created the blog back in the fall of 2008, and has been working on it ever since. She started attending fandom conventions back in Orlando, Florida when she was just a teenager. Now based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she’s exploring all the tri-state area has to offer. While she’ll attend just about any convention out of sheer curiosity, at heart she’s mostly a Star Trek fan looking to meet every major cast member from each series. She’s getting closer to that goal than she ever thought possible.
