Written by Ian Nathan, he works at Empire magazine, nice bloke and he almost always writes their Alien stuff. I will be in the Empire building next week so I'll see if I can get some jpg samples for your site, Willie, if you're interested. Our Graham? As in Langridge, the Space Jockey? Or are you doing a Cilla Black impression (UK folk will get that one)

PS, isn't it cool there is a new book on Alien due out after all this time? I hope there's some stuff in there that'll be new to us |

"Here's our Graham with a quick reminder" wasn't that what Cilla used to say?  Actually FenGeddel86 over on Propsummit found the link, I was surprised to see it so asked Willie about it so I can't take credit for the discovery unfortunately. Looks really good though, it sounds great! Probably have to get two, one to keep pristine and one for pulling to bits! |

UK site with details: http://forbiddenplanet.com/74956-alien- ... escription Quote: Now, Alien Vault opens a portal into the making of this legendary film, tracing its path from embryonic concept to full-fledged box office phenomenon. Featured herein are director Ridley Scott’s own annotated story boards, Polaroids and script pages; the elegant but disturbing concept artwork of H.R. Giger; sketches and construction blueprints for the Nostromo; costume designs by Moebius; a treasure trove of never-before-seen photographs of the cast and crew; and ten meticulously reproduced artefacts, enclosed in vellum envelopes, for readers to remove and examine more closely.

I really don't see how this can have that much un-seen material to warrant a purchase. But that's me. |

They did; actually Willie Goldman asked me last December, so I have him to thank for their inclusion. Thanks Willie!

Seriously though, it's great that there's still new viewpoints to be had on a film that's almost 40 years old now - I think this book might well be gifted to EVERY member of my family this Christmas... I'll get them interested, somehow... |

On Saturday Harry and I managed to get early copies of this great book. It really is beautifully done and I recommend it highly. Here are some snaps (I won't post any more though because the book is so lush I would consider it spoiler-ish!) Ian Nathan and the designer have done a great job. It may well be the best book on Alien that I've seen.

Wow, how did you manage to get early copies? Are there any set blueprints in the book at all (you might've known I'd ask that one....)? |

| Post subject: | Re: The A L I E N Vault |
Yes, I'll take a snap tomorrow for you Graham – your work is fantastic and the repro is good quality. Are you back in the UK now? Be great if you could make it to the Leicester event in September. |

Sadly not, the architecture industry is still struggling and I found it difficult to find work. I'm now in East Tennessee (my missus has family there). Not found permanent employment yet but doing some contract drafting for a few weeks. Would have loved to have gotten to Leicester, but on the plus side I'm within driving distance of Dragoncon, so aiming to get there next year, we'll see.

What's the story behind that Nostromo patch? Is it an early design sketch or something? |

Yea, it really is a book to get excited about. Quote: Mike said: What's the story behind that Nostromo patch? Is it an early design sketch or something? The caption reads: Nostromo Patch. Ron Cobb's upbeat rainbow hued design for the Nostromo emblem, as sewn on to the crew's spacesuits (reproduced here in sticker form). Hmmn. The font is different and as a guess I'd say the designer has redrawn it for the sticker and not matched the font. There are a few geometric inaccuracies with the kern and other spacing. I know you and I would consider that inexcusable, Mike! But most people would be none the wiser. Quote: Space Jockey said: Really hope you get there Graham, it's great to meet everybody and DCon is a great crack, you'll love it.I'm within driving distance of Dragoncon, so aiming to get there next year, we'll see. Quote: Are there any set blueprints in the book at all (you might've known I'd ask that one....)? Yes! It's A3, so pretty damn cool. Great to see your awesome work getting the exposure and recognition it deserves. Your blueprint was an amazing project as many here have commented. See piccie:
