Book Reviews of The Complete Making of Indiana Jones: The Definitive Story Behind All Four Films
Book Review: This brings you right onto the movie set
Summary: 5 Stars
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R12K7T8NDBIXE2 This is probably the best making-of-the-movie book I've read so far this year.
A lot of effort must have been put into research. Considering when the first Indiana Jones movie was shot, I'm very impressed by how they manage to document all this information.
The book is about the production process of the 4 Indy movies, up to the Crystal Skull. The narration explains in great detail all the events that happen behind the scenes. It's filled with lots of interviews. Read from how Spielberg came up with Indy's name to the last day of shooting Crystal Skull where Harrison Ford gave Shia LaBeouf a signed hat.
Reading the book is like working on the set itself. For that, it's worth the price alone.
There are hundreds of high resolution production photos. Several art illustrations were put in also, such as posters, storyboards and set designs. There are 300 pages in this 15-inch (screen measurement) book.
For fans of Indiana Jones, this will be an immensely satisfying book. For non-fans, this book will still impress. This book is that good.

From Raiders of the Lost Ark to The Kingdom of the Crystal SkullThe man with the hat is back-in the definitive behind-the-scenes look at the Indiana Jones epic action saga.
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.

Here's your chance to go on location for an up-close, all-access tour of the year's most eagerly anticipated blockbuster, as well as the classics. 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:
