My boyfriend is a huge HR Giger fan, so for christmas i purchased this book as a surprise present. He was very happy with it, which made me happy :)

I just found out that the so-called "signature" inside the book is actually printed, and not even Giger's at all. What a disgrace. The store owner actually believed it was signed, and so he mis-led me into buying it for that reason. What a sick marketing stunt. I wouldn't buy this guys books to use for toilet paper. Like the other reviewer says, why is it the same junk recycled over and over. Just desperate drug infested marketing tactics, that's all. That's what you are paying for if you buy this garbage.
Awesome, but... September 16, 2007

Giger please release a new book of your artwork one of these centuries. I've been living off these same books since high school!
 The artist behind the sci-fi September 13, 2007

If you have ever marveled at the artistry behind the beast from "Alien," then you would love this book. The look and feel of the world comes from this Swiss artist, who has this book to help explain his work.
There is no way to get totally into the mind of the artist. The wealth of elements would require a psychoanalyst. For many of his works, the artist provides some commentary about his background, which gives you some idea of what influenced him. Further, some photos are included of his life, and these will also show the viewer what helped shape the ideas in his work.
Included are some of his more popular works, but you will not find the alien from the movie (although you will find sketches for House Harkonnen from Dune).
If you are a science fiction or horror fan who is thinking of learning more about art and the artist behind the work, then this would make a fine coffee table addition.
Amazing! July 10, 2006
