This Island Earth Making Of Book

This title will immediately be recognized by sf heads as the source for the
classic 1955 film, which is still considered one of the best of the 1950s B
movies, despite being sniped at in the feature film version of the late,
great Mystery Science Theater 3000. The 1952 novelization essentially was a
collection of the individual episodes serialized in Thrilling Wonder
Stories. This edition sports a new intro by legendary horror/sf film maven
Forrest J. Ackerman. The book and film differ greatly, so die-hards will
have to read it to get the true story.
