Taschen Books To Release A More Affordable Edition Of ‘The Making of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey’

Last August, the fine folks at Taschen Books unveiled their latest limited edition project: The Making of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. A gorgeous coffee table book costing over $1,000, the book sold out immediately.

As they have done with previous releases, Taschen will finally release a less expensive edition of this book this fall. This new edition will retail at $69.99, and Amazon already has it at a small discount.

Previously available as part of the multi-volume and instant sell-out Collector’s Edition, this comprehensive visual record includes on and off set photographs, pre-production paintings, and conceptual designs from the Kubrick archives. With numerous fold-outs, these dazzling images offer insight both into Kubrick’s meticulous directorial methods, and into the mysteries and magnetism of a film at once vast in scope and intricate in its exploration of our relationship to technology.

This new edition is listed as “available this August” on Taschen’s web site, but Amazon has a release date of September 15th. I cannot wait.
