Thanks Davey, I love my Hammer books and saw this, clicked on the link to go ahead with the purchase and saw £15 postage!!!!:shocked:

Nevermind

heavy
 

Alien the Archive: The Ultimate Guide to the Classic Movies

Perhaps there should be sub thread on heaviest film books,although not the heaviest,I would of thought Stephen throwers nightmare USA was the heaviest,this new arrival certainly weigh abit maybe its written in Alien blood perhaps.

A definite coffee table book.

Or perhaps you make a coffee table out of it. :nod:

After moaning about the postage. I could not resist! only 500 printed sold me. I would want it eventualy and then would have to pay silly money. Also picked up on the same site the Peter Cushing scrapbook, then onto Amazon for Nightmare USA and pre-ordered the Jesus Franco book. This site is costing me more than my ex-wife!.......on second thoughts!!

At least you lot make me smile!:nod:

Yeah, the postage is high but I'm sure you will not be dissapointed when it arrives. Same for the Peter Cushing Scrapbook. Awesome !

:skull:

Dave. :)

How does the Hammer book compare with some of the official Hammer books of recent years?

Basically if i own all those - The Hammer Story, Glamour, The Vault, The Art of, etc, is it anything new?

I have all those too Dem, but such a limited amount means a great investment! Also I just can not resist anything to do with Hammer, they have been my inspiration since I was smaller than Danny De Vito's danglies and unfortunately, even though skint with xmas coming, I had to have a copy. Your probably right about it repeating most of whats already been printed though, but hopefully I am wrong. It does look a huge tome!!!:shocked:

Arrived today, amazing quality, the Hammer book is hernia inducing and the Peter cushing is much more weighty/thicket than I thought it would be, opening up landscape way, so much colour in both and loads of hammer stills etc I have not seen before. Well worth the outlay. The peter cushing book looks fascinating and presented in such a fashion that it will be easy pick up and put down, broken up with reams of colour images, letters, personal drawings, posters. Both Essential for Hammer fans.

Like PR said, the book looks fantastic. If you have all the books that came before do you really need it ? Well I have all the books as well and I am glad I made the purchase. I can't resist anything Hammer and as we said it is a huge book of beauty. Anyone who missed out on Wayne's Bray and Elstree books will love this as it covers all the censor notes as well. The book covers each film on it's own rather than a continuous read as with the other books.
The book is now getting low on stock so I would buy now rather than later. You really will not be dissapointed even if you own a load of Hammer books already.
