Paul's Top Watch Related Books of 2014

20/12/2014

 
Picture
The titles below are all from 2014 as always it is the date the titles have been read and not their release date that sees them eligible to enter our top lists of the year.

The World of Ice and Fire

Picture
The prelude title to George RR Martins fantasy epic may have left some readers cold but for me it was an entry point in a riveting history of westeros and beyond.

Laid out in a textbook format it is styled as though it was created by a Maister. The continuity of production gives the book a sense of weight and the many illustrations do wonders for the eyes in-between the passages

This book is a worthy addition to the shelf of many of a Song of Ice and Fire's fan as well as those form the Game of Thrones ilk.

Alien - The Archive
The Ultimate Guide to the Classic Movies

35 years old and the Alien franchise is still able to attract a large following. There is something rather unique about the Xenomorph and the films it appears in. 

This book celebrates the films within the franchise using interviews, photos, sketches and more to really allow you into the inner workings of the films.

Art wise alone it's a hefty book with images from the original Geiger Alien as well as its descendants' this book is a must read for fans of the franchise.

On Set with John Carpenter
The Photographs of Kim Gottlieb-Walker

Picture
Almost a photo diary detailing the creation of many of John Carpenters best known and loved films, Kim Gottlieb-Walker had a insight into films that many of us will never get an opportunity to experience.

From candid cast shots to orchastrated imagery this book lifts the lid on the film creation process and also allows readers to learn a little more about the work of Carpenter and Gottlieb-Walker.

    What this is

    The random chat is changing a little to be just as the title says. This is going to function as my place to chat about things that can come from anywhere, from TV to films to Sport to gaming. Most things are up for discussion even though I will avoid the key no no's like Religion, Politics and Macro Economics (Micro economics of the gaming/comics world though is still fair game) and of course the biggie whether the Spice Girls were the greatest musical group of all time or not. I hope to bring a taste of something different in these posts and please feel free to comment where you see fit.
