My copy is signed by Mahan, Rosengrant, Woodruff, and Gillis, but not the man himself. I might need that.

Just bought a copy of the signed edition for $35 shipped thanks to a 33% off coupon at Borders. Now to see if it ships

I looked for this book a while ago, and whilst browsing the reviews on Amazon I came across this little story,
I think it says it all about Stan........................

"16 years ago as an art student I was studying special effect make up, I had difficulty with an appliance I had an exam due, worried I rang Stan Winston Studio hoping to speak to a technician. Someone answered the phone and asked if they could help, I explained my predicament, for ten minutes I had the technician explain the process and a couple of tips. Really helpful guy so I asked for his name to write and say thanks, He just said Stan, I nearly fell over. My hero talking to me like a friend and helping some poor student,

This book represents this man and his work, community he created and his strengths and weaknesses. This is not a book that reads as a infomercial, it is a history warts and all of a fine art studio. Its explains why he would talk to a young student for nearly half an hour."

Kindest regards

Chris Howes , the man who ran away with everybodys money on this very forum told me this exact story before he did a runner.
I'd imagine it was him who left that message.

That's a nice story showing what a humble yet amazing guy Stan Winston is.

R.I.P. Stan!

Yeah, it is.

Personally I like the original signed version cover more, it is more of a classic touch, like Greek sculptures, showing also The Man on the cover. It is more subtle and elegant.

That one. See my post above

The ony reason I prefer my cover is because I own the Alien Queen, the Predator and the Pumpkinhead...Nonetheless all of these books are truly worth having no matter what...The best of the best

Just to clarify for some here......There are also UNSIGNED versions of the book with the "more stylized" outer cover.
Only if the book is labeled as limited signed version, then you can be sure!

It needs to have the red sticker on it indeed.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Exactly!
I have both signed and unsigned versions (both were gifts) and they have same cover!

 

[Hex]

This is the one to look for:

 

[Toni Plutonij]

Yeah, thanks for posting a picture Hex, that's the one!

What's really cool in that book is the chess set pics... Can't find any images on the internets though.

This is a fantastic book, I recomend it to all Winston fans.
I've got the regular versiuon that I bought on release, not realizing
there was a signed copy also available...
