Just like the other reviewer, I first saw this book almost 30 years ago. It's quite a work of art. A friend of mine had a copy but I was never able to find my own, and I kept meaning to search for it. Alien is still one of my favourite films even after all these years. This takes me back to when I was 17 and first caught the bug ! Saw the film 7 times in the theatre (pre VHS in the house). If you like the movie, you'll love this book.
