I was just wondering if anybody owned the book featured in this e-bay auction. It seems like it contains a stack of storyboards and I’d love to see them. Unfortunately this book is already too expensive for me to buy (and still has 4 days to go) but maybe someone here already owns it. If not, perhaps someone with money to spare might want to pick it up?

It appears to be very rare and would be worthwhile for any collector’s. As I said though, my interest is in the promise that it contains storyboards for the <span class=“Bold”>entire</span> film. I thought it would be nice to scan them and include them as a special feature on any of the fanmade BR DVDs or something. Please let me hear your thoughts on this.

Just a thought--

Everyone should check their local county and university libraries, especially since most libraries have interloan programs that allow people to get a hold of books held by other libraries in the county, or in the cases of colleges, other universities in their state system. People that should really be on the lookout are those that are in colleges with major film programs.

I checked the UC system catalog, but came up with nothing. But keep looking...

That's a good idea Tweaker. I'm only just going into University, but my English teacher from high school might has access to some Blade Runner stuff used for film study. I'll have to see if she knows/can get a hold of this book.

There's also a sort of companion book to this I just recently found out. It's called "The Blade Runner Sketchbook". Now I'm anxious to do hi-res scans of both books. However, since I'm pretty sure both books are OOP, it could be an expensive thing to do. Let's hope someone around here can find a copy they have access to.

Ugh. I just searched OhioLINK and came up with one copy of "The Blade Runner Sketchbook", but it's in closed stacks, so I can't check it out.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

Photocopier? Just a thought to keep in mind if no one else comes up with anything.

The only way I woulda been able to look at it at all is if I checked it out. It's at Miami University, I'm in Bowling Green (opposite sides of the state, pretty much).
