2001 A Space Odyssey Collector's Set
For 2001 A Space Odyssey (1968) fans and historians, both a first edition book (c. 1968) with original jacket signed by author Arthur C. Clarke and a collector's pamphlet with photos, background details, and interviews. First, the book is from Arthur C. Clarke's personal collection, a "1968 First Published" hardcover of 2001 A Space Odyssey printed in Great Britain by Hutchinson of London Press and signed by the author. Second, the Collector's Pamphlet contains high-resolution glossy color photographs, quotes, and write-ups on the 1968 film's production and creative team such as screenwriter Arthur C. Clarke, screenwriter/director Stanley Kubrick, and actors Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood. The collaboration between film director and author began in 1948, when author Clarke wrote a short story called "The Sentinel" which director Kubrick spotted as a great basis for a science fiction film. Clarke and Kubrick collaborated on the screenplay for 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and from that script, Clarke created his best selling novel. Book is approx. 6" x 8 1/2". Collector's Pamphlet is approx. 7" x 16"
