   Geez, some people will never be happy with what they've got will they?   
   Always wanting more! :)   
      
   Just kidding - I agree with you, and I'd rather look at production art   
   in a nice book than as stills on a DVD (or even Blu Ray) gallery anyway   
   - much better resolution and a nicer aesthetic experience - especially   
   with a well produced book.   
      
   And while we're at it, one for Alien would be nice, including Ridley's   
   storyboards in their entirity.
