Wow what a read!
This book is fascinating on two fronts.
Firstly for the fans of the Star Wars films there is a fascinating insight into Brian's involvement in Star Wars, A New Hope. The books features some rare behind the scenes photos and a wealth of information that has never before been revealed.
Secondly for film and industry fans there is vast information and details about the multitude of films that Brian has worked on ranging from multiple James Bond films to Superman.
Great to see a tribute to the late liz Moore who has been overlooked in recent court cases with regards to her stellar work on ANH.

I would first like to say this book is not only for fans of the star wars movies! Anyone who is interested in what goes on behind the scenes in the film industry will enjoy it, especially those who are interested the art and design side of things.
It's written by a talented British sculptor who gives a really personal account of his involvement in the making of numerous movies.He tells Funny stories of the goings on during the making of the films and a gives great insight how much work goes into creating the artwork for the sets and props. The photo reference is amazing. It shows fantastic artwork produced on the films. Some of my top 10 favorites films are in there which made it an even better read! Great book!
