This is a lovely book. The stills from the films are superfluous for the most part, but it's kinda nice to have access to some of the most iconic images ever recorded on celluloid at the flick of a page.
The archival stuff is just beautiful though; there are interviews galore, tons of wonderful photos and tantalising glimpses of Kubrick's abandoned projects. I feel giddy just flicking through it!
I even got me a strip of film from the stargate sequence. And (on a related note) when the 2001 SE was asked about in the Warner chat, they cooly replied "SE of 2001 is targeted for 2006, with other Kubrick SEs". OTHER KUBRICK SEs! Joy!
Oh yeah, my copy came with a catalogue for Taschen's other books that features an. . . interesting photo on the cover. You'll see what I mean. :b
