Great stuff. Nothing that I could carp of. Highly recommended for the genre fans. Lots of interesting read and unique pictured from the set (and behind it). Go for it.

Having always been a fan of ’76 version of King Kong and never having seen the original version, at first when I knew that Peter Jackson was making his updated version, I became excited because it was one of those iconic mosters from my childhood, and also because Peter Jackson’s previous works with The Lord of the Rings, which was quite amazing.
This is one very detailed hell of a book!!! Really good technical stuff as well as concept work, I just wish there would have included more Kong pics, either concept art as well as any photo from the movie. But anyway, this stuff is great!!!!

Meant to keep in your pocket I guess. It’s still a good addition to my collection and was very reasonably priced.

Decent but very simple. Alot of the book was written before the movie came out.
