Product Description:
Released in 1967, Planet of the Apes was a top-ten box-office hit that captivated audiences with its provocative vision of the future. Over the next decade it spawned four sequels, a television series, an animated series, two comic books, and hundreds of merchandise tie-ins. To some, the Apes projects were a campy, sci-fi blast, with colourful characters and delightfully over-the-top performances. But others took the stories more seriously, as allegories on man`s struggles with such issues as race, intolerance, and
protecting of the environment.
Though there hasn`t been a new Apes movie since 1974, the popularity of the original films and TV series has endured and, if anything, expanded in the interim. When director Tim Burton`s remake of the original Planet of the Apes is released in the summer of 2001, interest in the phenomenon is certain to be rekindled on a prodigious scale.
Planet of the Apes: An Unauthorized History is a comprehensive look at all aspects of Planet of the Apes, featuring interviews, reviews, complete cast and credit information, and a behind-the-scenes look at what made this quirky science-fiction series an enduring classic.

It was, like already stated here, misinformative as hell. Just a cheap, perfunctory attempt to cash in on the POTA franchise.

This is a pithy book. In some ways I like this better than the other, bigger book. It is less of a heavy read and seems to have more interesting facts. There ARE plenty of pictures (with captions---unlike the other Apes book!), none from the actual movie, but we've all seen it a 100 times anyway. These pictures are ones you haven't seen before. I didn't find the opinionated comments of the author distracting, I thought they were cogent.

This is a great book and I surgest that you buy it.There are some things that I dont like about it though.First of all I do recommend that you do not read this book from cover to cover because it gets really boring.I recommend you pick out the things you like first.If you do read from cover to cover its like reading jotted down notes on 178 pages.The thing that I hate about it though is chapter 9 does not say anything about Planet of the Apes.The book is after all pretty good though.It goes over ...

I know this book is rather msinformative. To give just one example of my own :when the author describes Charlton Heston's 1980's tv series "The Colbys" he says it ran from 1985 to 1986. Wrong! The Colbys ran until 1987!And I thought there was a problem with the date Brent lands back on earth. Doesn't he land on our future world (around) 30 years earlier than Taylor does! And Taylor has already metZira and Cornelius in the story about Brent. Did Taylor go back into orbit and crash land on earth again ... Read More

This book is absolute garbage. It is poorly written, filled with factual errors and contains not a single photo from any of the films. As a matter of fact, it barely has any illustrations at all. For those looking for a great book about the Apes series, I recommend "Planet Of The Apes Revisited".
