Excellent coffee table book on the first film. This was read once by a reviewerso I was able to purchase it for less than half of the original price. Great deal,Great price.

    Going APE for a book that any PRIMATE can enjoy!
  

*by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2019*

As someone who worked at 20th Century-Fox from 1989-2015, and who was also their unofficial historian to boot, I have to say that J.W. Rinzler's MAKING OF THE PLANET APES is one of the best "making of" movie books I have ever read.It takes the reader from the origins of the Pierre Boulle novel all the way through producer Arthur Jacobs vision of making the movie, and director Franklin Schaffner's excellent execution of it. Every detail, every artist conception drawing, production blueprints, make-up tests... production scene construction, stage and location filming... it's all here in one engrossing book that's fully illustrated with behind-the-scenes and candid photos that I've never seen before.Having known and worked with people who were employed on the original, and certainly the very BEST ape movie ever, I can only think that this book does them great credit, and provides a wonderful memento for their families and friends.The B&W and color stills are beautifully reproduced and laid out in the best possible way, and the exhaustive research and the most trivial details of the movie's production are sure to be a wonderful surprise for any fan.The original 1968 PLANET OF THE APES movie is iconic and special for a number of reasons... The fact that it was very original and unique... The fact that it was so innovative and ground breaking in both it's make-up design and music scoring... The fact that every penny spent is right up there on the screen, completed on schedule with a tight budget... And the fact of it's perfect script, casting and directing.They certainly don't make movies like that anymore, and you don't get fabulous books like this one coming along too often either!

    Reliable Rinzler Reads Well But Short
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018*

This book isn't quite as meaty as his efforts for Star Wars but is still quite good.I took one star off of this as the Kindle version has some very, very poor quality graphics, isolated almost entirely to the movie posters for non-Planet of the Apes films that were done by people related to the movie. I have no idea where they found these but I could find better quality versions of a lot of them quite easily just using the internet.  They are blurry when you look at them and if you try to expand them they are just worse.  The photo quality for almost all of the PotA material is fine.I've read another book that covers the entire history of the original series and it had some nice stories that I was surprised to not see iterations of here, sadly that book is long out of print and not available as a kindle book.  This one will be a good product for delivering the same story for just the first film.  Maybe the graphics in the physical book are better, I prefer the Kindle for these because the other books are just too darn big for comfortable and easy reading, you almost need to get the coffee table book version for the pictures and the kindle version for the ease of reading.
