Was brought as a present - but the images are amazing and the book is well put together

This is a giant book, over 300 pages of high quality art and insight from James Cameron.

It also takes you through his journey as an artist, and you can quite clearly see that here.So, if you want to know about about one of Canada's greatest exports, and see inside the mind of a creative genius - get this book.

Really Very Good!!

Love this, however, would have liked it to be the complete works- for example, there’s not detailed works of the Terminator Skynet base etc.

I paid £36 for this amazing book, and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Captivating, high-quality images, coupled with fascinating information written by the man himself. There are some great insights into his early life, and quite a few stories that have never been told publicly before. This really is a must-own item for fans of the genius that is James Cameron.

I have wanted to know for years how James Cameron learned how to draw.This book is a very thorough record of James Cameron's artistic journey and immensely valuable to anybody with an interest in James Cameron's movies. I would highly recommend.

For any film lover who's a fan of Camerons work this is a must!! It's a fantastic collection of his work and includes a lot on how he started out when he was younger and got into the film industry. As a concept artist myself working in film and tv I find it very inspiring!! There's a lot of insight into how he approached his work.My only slight criticism is I would prefer it was chronological with the layout of all the art over his film career, instead it seems to jump about a bit to different themes which I find a bit messy and confusing. Aside from that though - great book!!

In my copy, the page numbers on page 68-80 are incorrect, and some pages are printed upside down. From what I've seen on Amazon and Goodreads, it seems that quite a few people got printing errors in their copies too. Remember to check your book when you receive it!
