I ordered this "movie special" book because I loved Thor:Ragnarok, even though I wasn't sure what I was getting. It turns out to be a magazine that is hard-bound - like one of those film exclusive issues EW releases. Unfortunately, the production values are the same.The paper inside is the same as a magazine off the rack, with that rippling that can occur along the bottom edge. I tried to capture that in the pics I took. There's no dust jacket; the image is printed directly on the boards.

The content is also what you would find in a magazine special issue, but expanded a bit more.There are brief interviews with all the principal cast and overviews of the characters as they enter the story. There are many pictures of behind the scenes, some images from the finished film, but also some concept art sprinkled throughout. There's nothing groundbreaking here, and very little you probably couldn't find online in other interviews or articles.

The price is high for the quality and content you're getting - this book should be $10. Still, it's a nice commemorative book for a film I really loved so I have it four stars. Good for a Thor or Loki fan, but probably not of much interest to a casual fan. ( )
