This book is high quality, nice hardback cover and thick paper stock with great images of all the wands and their owners from all the movies.  The boy downside is that there is almost no "artistic license" in the text accompanying each set of images, so often there is one one or two vague sentences about the wands themselves and several paragraphs about the characters.

This book has so many pictures and writings that are in great quality, it is unbelievable that you can get it for this price.  It has sketches of the design and pictures to compare for actual implementation.  I got it at discounted price of $24, but I would have paid the full price.  It is that good.  I will spend the next few months reading this 300 page book and watch the movie again and again...  This is the best trilogy movie ever and the book keeps up with such reputation.

This is a beautiful book - and large! I actually have it electronically, but the physical book is so beautiful too and often I just go through it and gaze and the paintings and drawings. This isn't expensive either to tell the truth. I may get more as gifts. This is a beautiful book - just lovely!

This [three-disc set] is a truly exceptional item and great investment, at a great price: incredible quality (although, I don't think there's anything out their that can compete with Blu-Ray), each film, along the bonus disc that accompanies each of them, is in it's own beautiful, detailed [with information about the film] and decorated [Blu-Ray disc] case, and all three of those cases fit snugly and safely in a hard, protective, and handsome case (they look like extremely handsome hardcover books---an homage, I believe, to the fact that these films were based on a now extremely popular and quite famous book [I'm a die-hard JRR Tolkien fan though, so you could say I'm somewhat biased, lol]) that compliments my Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Blu-Ray set, which also consists of three films, and whose outter case also looks like an extremely handsome hardcover book. I would strongly recommend this item to any Tolkien or award-winning cinema fan. It's well worth the price, and is an excellent investment that hasn't worn out even slightly after the hundred times I've enjoyed watching each film / disc in it!

The Herzog collection has 16 films from 1970-1999. This set is in a hardcover book format which includes 46 pages of essays and information about the movies, and then sturdy cardboard holders for the movies themselves.  I have only just started to watch the movies in the set, but I'm please with the quality of "Aguirre:the Wrath of God" both for its picture quality and sound compared to a dvd version I have.

I also watched "Nosferatu the Vampyre" and some of the scenes really sparkle in detail and colour compared to the Anchor Bay dvd I own. The blu-ray does seems less uniform than the dvd though with some scenes appearing soft while others have wonderful detail. The overall soft look of the dvd seems to visually unify the movie better. This sometimes makes the blu-ray seem flawed since one is aware of the discrepancies in texture throughout the film though this may also have simply been the director's choice in using sharp or soft focus in various scenes which comes to the forefront when viewing the movie on blu-ray. Overall though it is thrilling to see Nosferatu in blu-ray since the movie seems to sparkle with a clarity and richness of blacks and colour compared to the dvd. Even a scene as simple as Lucy reading from her husband's journal looks amazingly beautiful given the clarity and enhanced richness of colour over the dvd. In another scene where Dracula enters Lucy's room the depth of field is narrowed to the flowers by the mirror so that most of the image is slightly out of focus including Lucy's image in the mirror and Lucy, but when Dracula enters the room he moves right up to the flowers so that he is perfectly in focus while lucy is still out of focus. This is something that doesn't show up on the dvd since everything appears slightly soft on the dvd. There are many examples of Herzog's use of a narrow depth of field, or use of soft/grainy shots of the landscapes in order to create a dream-like world. These details in how depth of field is used in the film shows up clearly in the blu-ray compared to the dvd.

Comparing my Anchor Bay DVD version of "Fitzcarraldo" with the blu-ray in this set I noticed that it has been remastered and cleaned up of dust and some other glitches. This seems to be the case with all of the movies I've watched so far in the set. And while the images in "Fitzcarraldo" often appear soft in the blu-ray they are much clearer than the dvd. One negative thing that I have noticed however, and this also appeared sometimes in the blu-ray of "Nosferatu", is that sometimes the blacks appear to be filled with white dots, like stars in the sky. This doesn't appear in my Anchor Bay dvds where the blacks appear solid. I didn't notice this in the early parts of the "Fitzcarraldo" so much, but this is particularly noticeable in the last scene with the opera singers singing on the boat with their black coats appearing speckled and lacking a deep black. These may be artifacts created in the remastering process. Overall though I would still say that the blu-ray in the set is much better than the dvd.

I was also glad to see that audio commentaries with Herzog are included. The special features include conversations between Herzog and Laurens Straub, and documentaries such as "Portrait: Werner Herzog", "Herzog in Africa", and the "Making of Nosferatu the Vampyre". This is a limited edition set of 5000 units. Evidently the negatives for this set were given to Shout Factory by Herzog and his team so this is a director approved set of transfers. Overall this is a lot nicer than I expected and makes for a fine upgrade over my dvds.

I bought this book for a friend and  after I opened it to see it, I thought "I should have gotten one for me too".
This book is beautiful, it has big and good quality pictures, a brief bio about the player and his way to the top.

One thing I could say I didn't like was that the black case got slightly damaged somehow somewhere during the shipment, but that's understandable I guess given the long trip.

Overall an excellent book to have in your collection.

Oh man, This was suppose to be a gift for a girl i dearly care about but i want to keep it for myself now.

it's beautifully designed with letter embossed title on the lenticular picture of the cover picture on the sleeve.
kinda hefty weight for a movie but it looks great. Highly recommend owning this movie in this edition. I love it and hope the girl will too :D

Stunning set. Bought the paperback. Slightly upset to find upon opening that my first novel has some wrinkled binding. I thought the white edition said they had red page lining on the edges but I was mistaken. Still very pretty and it's nice it also includes the novella. The series is very romantic. Not one for love triangles but it is an art in itself.

I pre-ordered this book a while ago and was told by a friend that it probably wouldnt be that good. But I decided to take a chance! And was I ever surprised!
The book is beautifully put together with nice big pictures, quotations and stories about him (growing up, modeling & acting). Something else I really liked about it is that it has (almost) every magazine cover/article pictures on a few pages which is nice because I don't own all the magazines. Its also not full of Twilight but has a few chapters about it and has some really beautiful pictures from the movie.
I will be telling all my friends to order this book its definatly worth the price :)

I loved the movie and I love the calendar.  It's easy to read and the pictures are gorgeous.  It inspired me to watch the movie again on DVD.
