Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

"Beautiful" describes this book. The content of the book -as little as I could read at the first browsing- is profound, yet accessible and understandable for the amateur. The printing of the book is astounding in respect to size and quality of the paper and printing. The spreads are impecable. It is worth noting that two different types of paper were used in the book. The first section is high quality brilliant couche, while the second part (the one that reffers to the catalogs) is on a different kind. This detail adds to the quality of the book. Highly recommended. Great value for the price.

The book is extremely well crafted. Perhaps the size of the print could've been a little larger, but I see it OK as it is. The written content is well-informed and easily accesible for non-experts. Paper is obviously of high quality as is the printing. Especially nice is the black suede and gold print detail on the side of the outside binding. I purchased this book for two reasons: it covers an interesting topic and it is also a nice piece of decoration for a study room or library. The book is very elegant; you will not be dissapointed.

Stanley Kubrick Archives

Much has already been said about the quality of the book. I personally find that the book is a due tribute. I also must say that I have not found something on Kubrick of comparable depth. On the content side, I would have liked to see more info on the projects that were not realized, especially on "Napoleon". And I didn't find a lot of value on the CD, since it's a spoken track instead of some audiovisual material. Nevertheless, as I said before, I haven't been able to find anything comparable to this book on Kubrick. The written material is of excellent quality, as are the pictures and graphics. I see that Taschen is issuing a new version for it's 25th anniversary. As I understand it, it will be out on Oct/2008. In conclusion, I am the proud and happy owner of an excellent piece of work.
