This is a sad moment. I can't sugar coat it.This volume is for the most part a picture book filled with illustrations and photographs, many which I had never seen (which is saying something, as I am well studied in 2001: a space odyssey). BRILLIANT research and lovely photos. This review will focus on this aspect of the book.The book comes in a rather astounding format... and as 6.9x15x1.6... clearly meant to resemble the monolith and its famous 1:4:9 ratio.And I thought, "Brilliant... artful and will allow the wide Cinemascope imagery (at 2.21:1 or 2.35:1)... requiring that the book be held wide left to right to resemble a cinema screen.In a decision that will go down in book history as unfathomably stupid, the book is instead "broken" and hinged sitting tall. It feels much like reading a double tall version of a newspaper. This format is fine for reading the accompanying text.In what will go down as one of the most horrific decisions in book making history... these amazing and rare photos and illustrations are force fit into pages that have a useable space of about 6 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. This makes presentation of these glorious visuals an impossible task... either the images have to be shrunk to postcard size... or, and this is almost criminal... the image must be split, down the center, across the book spline. OH. MY. GOD. The CENTER of these amazing images... hopelessly lost in the curving folds between adjacent pages. (see accompanying photos to this review).These images might have been a gold mine for scale model references... or just appreciated for their historical value or beauty... but are now marred by being split in two.In an apparent effort to deal with this madness, there are many fold out pages, but even these have a crease, and the printing ink on my copy was not happy to remain on the paper at these folds... leaving a white line at the crease. Given we are dealing with a visual film of space, white lines cutting vertically through black are somewhat noticeable!To top it off, the paper seems to be of questionable quality. Generally, coffee table books like these are on heavy high gloss paper, but this paper is decidedly dull and brings a lifeless quality to the images.I wish I had better news about this book. If you can stand to have your heart crushed by how these astounding and rare images are defiled, then I suppose you might consider adding this title to your library.This book screams loudly for another edition... reformatted, in an orientation and aspect fitting to the heart of the work: the visual material.
It seems that someone is setting up multiple "names" so they can file reviews once a month with 5 stars, titled "Five Stars" each time. At least I assume so; they're identical, and fall in a narrow time window. Without them this book would have a far lower rating. I bought it without doing my usual reading of reviews, so I guess it's my fault that I was so severely disappointed in the book, but everything that's been said about its ridiculous formatting and infuriating placement of images across pages rather than rotating to fit a single page is true. My specific goal was to find the unique info on the Pan Am Orion clipper that I'd been told was here, but those photos were split across pages so there's nothing useful I can gain without cutting the spine off the book, extracting the pages I need, and doing a hi-res scan so I can digitally put the two halves together. To those questioning whether other reviewers have been too unkind, and who instead want to focus on the richness of the material, consider this: Fold-outs are used to accommodate minor characters' headshots in good order, but Dr Heywood Floyd's is split across pages, so the middle of his face disappears down the crease. And similar things abound throughout the book. What a severe disappointment after I'd been so excited by the promised content! And I see no way to return the book; it's not "defective" or "damaged" or any of the other categories Amazon gives you to justify sending it back, it's just a bad product. No matter how good the content itself may be, it's presented so poorly as to be useless for the purposes for which I ordered it.
First, I am one of the people fortunate enough to have seen the film during its initial release (although not in one of the “Road Showsâ€) and have been a constant fan, watching it almost annually ever since, and re-reading the novel at least six or seven times. I’ve also read many books and articles on 2001, so I’m well extremely familiar with the subject. I’m always game for anything new dealing with it, so I decided to buy this book, despite some of the negative reviews.While I’m still glad I bought it, I have to say I’m in total agreement with those who have expressed negative reviews regarding the physical format and quality of the book. While the ratio is meant to evoke the Monolith, it ruins the wonderful (many rare) photos inside. In a book that is about a movie whose chief impact is VISUAL, this is unforgivable. Yes, the price is low, at least when I bought it in late 2017, but I’d be willing to pay two to three times this amount for this book in a format that allows you to see the photos in their entirety.The information contained is wonderful, and is appropriate for casual and serious fans of the film and of Kubrick. There is plenty of material right from the “horses’ mouths†(both Kubrick and Clarke), although much less from Clarke, which I found a little disappointing. Plus tons of material from many others directly involved in creating the movie.Fans of film will also love this book for its trove of information on how movies are made and how creative minds work to present art and wonder to us, the viewers.So my bottom line is this: Yes, it’s worth buying, but be warned that the format will likely frustrate and/or disappoint you. My wish would be for this book to be re-printed in a regular coffee table format. If the publishers really want to use the cute Monolith in some way, then include a small “collectors item†of it in the package.
