I've only spent a brief time flipping through this book, but it's clearly a well thought-out and detailed look at the Stan Winston Studio, including its history and impressive movie credits. I've not seen many of the photographs before, which is refreshing. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase, and would recommend it to anyone with an interest in special effects and Hollywood magic.

Where to start really. The book and it's content is absolutely fantastic. Great paper quality, nice hard cover with dust jacket, and overall fantastic imagery. If you were ever a movie lover who enjoyed Terminator, Predator, Alien, or many other popular science fiction series. You'll love this book!

The imagery is great and it just goes to amaze you at how well Stan Winston and his team did at creating these horrific monstrosities. There's also quite a few surprises I found about things I never knew and movies I had no idea involved Stan and his team behind the scenes.

The autograph on the front page is just an amazing bonus to the incredibly low priced book. It's not a photocopy but an actual original signature in a 3000 book limited edition to add to your collection. I really couldn't believe the price as things like this are usually marked up substantially.
