So far, there are *three* volumes such as you describe (with one more to go
to finish the first serial). I picked up my copies at my regular comics shop.
Most big comics shops should carry them, as well as a ton of other Japanese
graphic albums of YAMATO and related material (in Japanese, of course). The
albums from Books Nippon have the advantage that they're in English. They are
definitely worth getting.
