A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"A treasure trove of memorabilia pulled from the movie's archives, it includes reproductions of hundreds of candid Polaroids from the film's production, photos of props and costumes used by the actors, sketches that later became Princess Buttercup's farm... reflections from the all-star cast....Is there a better gift book for the "Princess Bride" fan in your life? Why, that's "inconceivable!"" ~americanprofile.com

"Celebrating the film’s 25th anniversary, a beautiful and exciting look at the making of the film and memorabilia compilation for fans. The Princess Bride: A Celebration is the first companion book to the film ever created. Which in itself is astounding–a movie so popular and yet no one thought to release something like this before. "It is a collector's dream to lay his/her hands on continuity Polaroids from a film production and this book gives the reader the feel...At 192 pages this volume actually includes everything you could hope for. The result is what any fan of any film would love to have" ~Borg.com

"A Celebration is kind of like a 192-page look-through a Princess Bride shoebox of stuff, like the creators and actors collectively threw bits and pieces from the experience and the process in for safekeeping and reminiscing down the road. ...after getting to the end, I found that I had enjoyed the memories it had sparked, and what I really wanted to do was go sit down with it and flip through again while watching the movie for the bajillionth time. Which is really the best way to celebrate an amazing movie, after all." ~wired.com

"...a super-smart, super-comprehensive collection of creative artifacts related to a beloved film....what’s most astounding here is how the book has been compiled to tell the proverbial behind-the-scenes story of making the film without any unifying main text: to turn the pages of this book...is to both relive the film and to learn, effortlessly, about how it was crafted. Highly recommended..." ~School Library Journal
