Taschen's The Stanley Kubrick Archives is good for all Kubrick’s film works (Amazon.com has a pre-order for the newest, most affordable version … for at least a year now; still not out) …

However, Taschen's The Making Of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is the same treatment but only of 2001:ASO (I discovered this book early on in this thread) …

It looks like this book has everything-2001:ASO in the Archives book … and so much more!

BTW, notice the design on the cover-sleeve of the TMOSK-2001:ASO book. I thought, with “the monolith” book layout, they were just filling in the area with prominent pictures of the movie. Okay, fine, and then we move on. But … if you look at it and think “why these particular pictures?”, “what profound meaning might be hidden here-in?”, you would surely conclude "there must be something more here with this being a work honoring Kubrick".


And you’d be right (in Super Panavision 70 no less) …
