I've done reviews of the new reprints out today here:

I'm definitely excited about the technical manual. I was hoping that one day they would re-release it, and that day has finally come.

I have one question though, has anything been added or removed from the original?

Afraid not, they're just straight forward reprints.

Thanks, I'll definitely be picking this up now, been wanting one ever since I heard about it on this site nearly a decade ago.

You're shitting me. I paid close to $30.00 for a used copy of the Colonial Marine Manual off eBay last year, and now it is coming back out?

Why not?

Now 'Prometheus: The Art of the Film' has been pushed back to August 7th?!?

What BS is THIS???

I think it's great that they're reissuing these out of print books. I got the CM technical manual way back when it first came out. It's a great book that goes into TONS of detail. I've still got my copy so I won't bother getting the reissue, especially if it's a straight reprint with only an updated cover.

My copy of the Tech Manual arrived from amazon today. I'm at work though so I haven't been able to check it out yet :(

I'm really interested to find out if the new version is the same as the old one, or if they added/changed anything.

Finally got to take a look at the Tech Manual this morning. The cover art is the original artwork, not that new artwork with the xeno from Alien Resurrection. I was really pleased to see that.  As for the book's content, I've never had a chance to read this, so I couldn't tell you if there are any differences.  But it's been reported that it's a straight reprint, so I highly doubt it.

Alas, a missed opportunity.
