Thoughts

It's taken me a long time to read this as it's a gorgeous hardback coffee table style book, so I would just dip in and out every now and again. At the heart of it, it's a week-by-week analysis of how the three Back to the Future films came together, from concept to shooting schedules, to release. There's lots of great insight, behind the scenes knowledge, and it's stacked full of great photographs I've never seen before.

One of the bonus things I love about it, though, is that it's got these little artefacts stuck into the pages - a Biff Tannen dollar, Marty's letter to Doc to warn him of the future, and most movingly, the full letter from Doc to Marty from the past. Even though they're reproductions printed in every single book, it still feels kind of special to be able to hold these things in your hands!

Definitely a must for any BTTF fans.
