What I want is book / comic with beautiful artwork,
Looking to get a friend some as she likes Anime (but will not order anything online, or go anywhere to look for herself)
I snagged a few of amazon but ended up with black and white images or no pictures
any suggestions appreciated
Sounds like you snagged yourself some manga and light novels!
Suggestions
Scrap the idea completely, get her something like a Displate. They seem pretty cool and have anime art IIRC.
Look more at graphic novels. I read some of Saga a while back now, can't remember much of it now. I'm bought my niece Amulet, but that's aimed at kids - though that's not a bad thing, Harry Potter exists and adults love that.
If she like Harry Potter, there's some hardback illustrated editions which are good - ignore the paperback illustrated ones as they have far far less illustrations, at least when I compared the first.
Get her an Art of book, I'd imagine there's an Art of Studio Ghibli book out there
Fairly sure there are apps on the play store that allows you to read manga through them if she doesn't want to go anywhere, there's also an open source manga reader for android, which allows you to add your own books and tracks them on websites such as myanimelist, that's not on the Play store though.
