Alien: The Movie Novel — Richard J. Anobile

There are literally thousands of photos in this book taken directly frame by frame from the original ALIEN movie, better than a pause button you get to relive the story, but also examine in detail the incredible sets, costume's, special effects, and more, you even get to examine some of the very rapid scenes, some of which are only on screen for a few seconds. As a visual record of the movie it's really second-to-none, it does have some text, mainly the dialogue, and here and there some descriptions of what's happening in the scene, but done in the way of a novel.
