Best book on Alien?

[shockwave]

Yes please but don't rush... I am trying to get any and all books, mags on ALIEN. And I forgot about this one.

No problem. The movie program is nice. I'll look for it later tonight.

I don't think I should start a new thread....However was there ever an ALIEN souvenir movie book that came out? I thought I saw one in an old Starlog magazine. But for the life of me I can't seem to find it on the net. Or am I just seeing things....

Here's a Starlog article anyway:

I forgot all about this! When I was looking for it, I also found my Raiders of the Lost Ark and SW programs too.

Here are a few pics from the ALIEN program.

awesome awesome awesome !.
I'm gonna have to try and get that !

Yeah, it's pretty cool. I'm not sure how often these pop-up on ebay. I don't think they printed a lot of them.

 

[D'oh!]

Batty, I have every book you mentioned -- have you been stealing from my library??

Here's another option: HR Giger's Necronomicon. It doesn't mention the film specifically, but does have the original paintings that were the inspiration for the final design. Great stuff. I have a version from the '70s but Amazon has a reasonably-priced reprint.

I think I am being spoiled here... Found this on alienscollection.com. Does anyone have this rare import gem? I looked online and ebay..nothin. Geesh I have to stop...

I've been a huge Giger fan since the 70s. I think I have almost every art book there is by him. Most of them first printings... Including the early books like Necronomicon and Biomechanics. And of course...Giger's Alien.

In college, I did a paper on Giger for Art History. I think I only got a B, though.

Here's my latest Giger book. Only $14.99 for a really nice hardcover:

Hey Batty:

Another question please? Do you have or know what the fold out poster to this ALIEN poster mag by chance? I have the 2nd volume. But I think the pic below is the 1st volume. And it might have the fold out of the alien but I just want to make sure. Thanks again I appreciate it...
