Book Reviews of The Complete Making of Indiana Jones: The Definitive Story Behind All Four Films
Book Review: Almost definitive and highly recommended.
Summary: 5 Stars
Rinzler and Bouzereau continue their fantastic documentation of Lucasfilms. As was their intention, the focus is on Raiders, but all Indiana Jones feature installments are covered. Crystal Skull gets the least coverage as the movie was being completed concurrent to the book, but even that has a lot of information about the pre-production and shooting.
Reading this book and watching the 2004 DVD documentaries (and the 2008 CS one) really satisfies any fans' or scholars' quest for Indiana Jones background. I'd actually give it 1/2 a star less if this system allowed it because the story can't be definitive till Crystal Skull gets complete coverage.
Also, this book was never sold in hardcover in the US, so if you want this in hardback you may wish to spring for a UK or Canadian copy.

When George Lucas and Steven Spielberg put their heads together to create a no-holds-barred action-adventure movie, bigger-than-life hero Indiana Jones was born.

The Complete Making of Indiana Jones is a crash course in movie magic-making-showcasing the masters of the craft and served up by veteran entertainment chroniclers J. W. Rinzler and Laurent Bouzereau. Inside you'll find:
. exclusive on-set interviews with the entire cast and crew of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, including Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, and John Hurt-plus director Steven Spielberg, executive producer George Lucas, screenwriter David Koepp, and the incredible production team that built some of the most fantastic sets ever.
. hundreds of full-color images-from storyboards, concept paintings, and set design schematics to still photos from all four films with candid action shots of the productions in progress
. an in-depth chronicle of the making of the first three Indiana Jones movies-Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade-including transcripts of the original concept meetings, cast and crew anecdotes, production photos, and information on scenes that were cut from the final films
. never-before-seen artwork and archival gems from the Lucasfilm Archives
. and much more!
