I'm about halfway through. It's nothing massively special. Pretty standard interviews with the cast. Some nice stills though which I need to scan up properly. Only real interesting thing I've read so far has been Fassbender talking David's motives for

killing Shaw.

what does he say about that?

He kills Shaw because he's afraid that she'll leave him. In the 'Art and Making' of book it says that David has a strong attachment to the things he loves.

Just got this through from Amazon today. Some great behind the scenes pics of the practical Xenomorph suit, but I'm disappointed at the magazine quality paper and the slightly streaky print marks on the some of the images; particularly the pics of Daniels on pages 33, 80 and 97... any one else have this issue?

Agreed on the paper stock quality. A beautiful hardcover and then they go use a real crappy glossy stock inside.

It all made sense when one was an art book and the other was about the making of the film, but now the art book has changed it's title and is apparently also about the making of the film.

Didn't we hear that when the film's (and Art Of book's) release dates were pushed to May, they ran out of time to interview the actual concept artists? So I suppose they've had to pad the book with 'Making Of' material so there'd be some sort of text.

Pity, I'd have happily waited 'til October for a better, dedicated art book.

Fair enough.

I guess its like when Aliens had those two making-of magazines with deceptively similar titles.

I'd guess the Art of would be more focused. This one has mainly cast interviews with some bts and concept art. I'll be posting some scans of the images later tonight.

Yeah, seeing as both are apparently about the making of the film.

Between this and the Art Of?

So I'm sure I've asked this before, but what actually is the difference between the two?

In my experience, anything that says 'Collector's Edition' right on it is usually pretty useless.

So is it looking like the one to get is the 'Art and Making of' book that's coming soon instead of this.

Nope.

Is there a comic in the collector's book?
