I have several books on its production, but this one tops them all. Watching the film, with its iconic spacecraft designs, you might have a hard time imagining any of them looking different. Well, this book is crammed with preliminary designs of just about everything - there's an early version of the spacepod that bears more than a passing resemblance to the USS Enterprise shuttlecraft (though must have come first!) as well as the space station and the lunar lander. And you can follow the evolution of Discovery as they edged closer and closer to what finally ended up on screen. It's not just the spacecraft - there are early designs for the spacesuits and the lunar colony too. All of these are very practical but not of course 'our' 2001. But I wouldn't be surprised to see some of them used in other SF films, possibly changed just enough to avoid lawsuits! Yes, this book is expensive, but quality things usually are. If you love the film, you'll love the book. Review: If you love 2001, you will love this - This book is a MUST if you love the film. There is a lot of data here over and above Piers Bizony's work. The first thing that struck me was the quantity of data, drawings and blueprints. Harry Lange (HL) generated so much detailed work for the film and luckily for us Chris Frayling dug this out of Lange's garage and with the help of HL's son, produced this excellent book. Having had the privilege of meeting HL back in Minehead in 1993 during the Space expo there with Arthur C Clarke, I only wish then this book was available then. An amazing book on the work of an amazing man for an amazing film. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 566,470 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 458 in Fantasy & Science Fiction Films 642 in Film Direction & Production (Books) 5,762 in Graphic Design Books | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (157) | | Dimensions | 25.15 x 3.3 x 29.46 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0957261020 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0957261020 | | Item weight | 2.04 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 334 pages | | Publication date | 9 Dec. 2015 | | Publisher | Reel Art Press | ## Images ![The 2001 File: Harry Lange and the Design of the Landmark Science Fiction Film - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ve2nlF2WL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ultimate book on the ultimate film *by G***D on 24 August 2020* '2001: A Space Odyssey' is my favourite film of all time.

There is a lot of data here over and above Piers Bizony's work. The first thing that struck me was the quantity of data, drawings and blueprints.

Then buy this book. *by J***D on 14 December 2015* Excellent book containing a wealth of material not available elsewhere. It is very specifically concentrated on Harry Lange's involvement with the film, as the title tells you. Personal insights pepper the text which details the story of Harry Lange's work and it is an informative and entertaining read. However it is the hundreds of drawings that raise the book to treasure status, everything from rough concept sketches to immaculate line drawings for production purposes. This is a must buy for 2001 aficionados and a fine companion to Adam Johnson's "2001:The Lost Science". 2001: THE LOST SCIENCE For a wider view of the film, Piers Bizony's "The Making Of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey" (Taschen) remains supreme.
