2.0 out of 5 stars Your basic RHPS Primer
If you want costume detail: get "The Official Rocky Horror Picture Show Movie Novel" (Foto Novel) or any RHPS DVD with still-frame capability. Henkin provides adequate 1980 dated RHPS cult narrative history with nominal illustrations and some inaccuracies. However, if you want a general overview from that era of this movie, this is your book. Worth the read. At the time...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book - some great pictures, but not too much new., February 1, 1998
By A Customer
This book has great pictures, including some of the shooting scripts, but doesn't necessarily tell you anything that you don't have online. If you want a text compendium of info from RHPS, this is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocky Rocks, September 10, 2003
By 
Alicia Zieman (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This is a great book. It tells or shows a lot of information on the movie and the play. It gives you some of the script, some of the words to the songs, and among other things. This is a fabulous book, well, if you like The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONLINE SHOPPING!!, January 24, 2012
This review is from: The Rocky Horror Picture Show Book (Hardcover)
Everything is so much better when you buy it online at school. At night. It's astounding to think that I could be doing something productive, here at school, but instead I'm buying Christmas presents a week before February, at school. Huzzah!

2.0 out of 5 stars Your basic RHPS Primer, December 30, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Rocky Horror Picture Show Book (Hardcover)
If you want costume detail: get "The Official Rocky Horror Picture Show Movie Novel" (Foto Novel) or any RHPS DVD with still-frame capability. Henkin provides adequate 1980 dated RHPS cult narrative history with nominal illustrations and some inaccuracies. However, if you want a general overview from that era of this movie, this is your book. Worth the read. At the time this book was cutting edge. Read it, know it, love it. Standard library fare.

A CAUTION: Amazon does not always distinguish hardcover from softcover on its product pages. Contact the seller since the actual offering may be a Tradeback softcover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Warped, January 15, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Rocky Horror Picture Show Book (Hardcover)
This is the original RHPS book from 1979 by Bill Henkin.

It has Color photos as well as B/W. it features the story behind the making of the film as well as how they started to market it after the film bombed on original release. Plus: Song lyrics, liner notes, scrapbook type set photo collage, and some dialogue.

This title says Hardcover but it was never produced in Hardcover only in papaerback. It's about 8x11 size and has full page photos.

This book has at least two pressings that I know of the last pressing was in 1991 and has now been out of print.

Please pick up a copy today. Makes a great coffee table book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useful but SEVERELY out-of-date., November 18, 1998
By A Customer
This book is good for someone looking for basic information about "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", but most if not all the information on the "Rocky Horror Experience is severely out of date.

The pictures are very good, but be careful if you want to use them as a reference for costuming. There are several transposed images, most notably the photo of Riff and Magenta in their "spacesuits".
