About the Author
Born on Earth (Southern California) and raised in reality, Josh Kushins has always felt far more at home on distant planets and in faraway galaxies. He parlayed his far-flung interests into a film degree from Northwestern University before returning to Los Angeles, where he spent several years as a freelance writer working on all manner of projects from the core of the industry to its outermost fringes. Falling into the unfettered field of communications, he has worked steadily for various Hollywood studios most recently on the Publicity teams for Lucasfilm Ltd. and DC Comics.

The Art of John Carter: A Visual Journey is a beautiful art book demonstrating the conceptual design and production art for the film. John Carter the movie remains a must-see, despite the mixed reviews and disappointing box office, and so too, this art book is a must-read. And apparently a must-own. The first print run has all but sold out in in the United States, causing copies of this book to sell for more than a couple of hundred dollars on e-Bay. (Thankfully for this American, Amazon.ca still had a few copies remaining.)
Despite the arena battle with the white apes being chosen for the cover art (the image has become tiresome since the marketing for John Carter never changed much), the only other negative thing I can say about the book is that it should have been even larger. Some of the art (e.g., the tattoo designs for the red Martians) is displayed too small to appreciate the detail. Apart from this, the book is a "cave of gold" and a great showcase for the talented work seen in the film. I especially like the conceptualizations of the Tharks, the Barsoomian airships and cities, and Woola. The Art of John Carter will add to your appreciation of John Carter the movie.
The best thing I can say about The Art of John Carter is that I could have turned around and sold the book online amd more than quadrupled my money. But I just couldn't do it. Much like the movie's princess, the incomparable Dejah Thoris, this book is beautiful and a "keeper." It will make you want to go back to Barsoom!

I really loved this movie and the book is a great resource for information on the movie, the art, and the characters. Really recommend it since there is so little merchandise associated with this movie. Greatly puzzling why a studio would spend so much on a film, and then provide so little in the way of tie-ins.
5.0 out of 5 stars
I purchased this book via Amazon.CA but they never delivered it — regardless THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!

Format:Hardcover
I ended up canceling my order after 90 days, I was lucky enough to find it at a "near by" brick and mortar bookshop. I had folks offer me 6 times my purchase price for it.
This book explains why JOHN CARTER OF MARS was not a flop — save to some wicked Disney Film executives who had to scuttle the the film to suit their career goals.
I treasure this. You will too if you can get your hands on it.
