I just got this!   5 Stars!  * * * * *  8)

One of the things that stand out are the brilliance of the color illustrations. They leap off the page. It is a delight for the eyes. Story boards...photo's. Wow!  So looking forward to reading it. ;D

This is a must have book for any fan of ALIEN as others have already said.

That's very encouraging, makes me feel even more confident in my decision to have pre-ordered four copies - one for reading and the others for my collection.

We are so blessed that ALIEN generates such top-quality reading material.

Then you'll be happy to know the book comes shrink-wrapped!  ;D

I agree. And I'm thinking of buying another one. I wasn't able to go entirely through it at work today.

Usually the printing information is on the reverse of the title page...it wasn't there? I wanted to check by waiting if I still got a first printing. I go thru it more thoroughly when I get home

Reading all this praise makes me even more pissed off with Booktopia for f**king up my pre-order from December!!!

I ordered a copy from them and received the same response you did.

All the positive comments make the wait even more torturous.

Will probably suffer through this again with the Lippincott book.

Looking good!

Found the printing information it's in the back of the book. Along with the bibliography. This is another bonus for me since I collect the printed word. Many listed I own but not all. ;D

Why do you need 3 copies for your collection? ???
