3.0 out of 5 stars The definitive version is yet to come..., December 30, 2003

This review is from: Film Fantasy Scrapbook (Hardcover)

Being a big fan of Ray Harryhausen, I bought this book back in the late 70's for $17.50 (a tidy sum at the time). Nothing else was available on Harryhausen, and the book was much appreciated. However, its pictures are mostly black and white, and there is not much to read or revealed by Harryhausen, who was still making films at the time.
Be aware: there are three different editions of the book, the last covers all Ray's films.
In April, "An Animated Life" will be released, with full color and lots of text. But if you see this in a used book store and it's not too expensive, pick it up. Even now it's considered a collector's item.

Mr. Harryhausen, Thank you so much for a lifetime devoted to amazing special effects films.You are truly the MASTER of stop motion and I'm very happy that you've given us, your fans, this book.As a 34 year old male, I grew up watching your films on TV and to this day I am still amazed when Sinbad battles the Cyclops or Jason fights the skelletons or Talos the bronze giant comes to life.You have inspired me to take up film making and stop motion as a hobby and I'm hooked. In your films, your magic will live on long after Zeus has called you home and your legend will grow like one of the great greek mythologies.Thank you. Joe Allen
