You Can't Take This Book From Me.
Take my love, take my land, but don't take this book. Here is the perfect companion to the movie. Full of large colorful photos and loads of insights, you'll love reading interviews with Joss and seeing the development behind one of the best Sci-fi movies of the generation.

Shiny - Naturally
I've been wanting this for a while, but in Australia it's double the price for some crazy unfair reason... but I was buying some other stuff on Amazon so took the opportunity to save on postage and got this too - can't wait to spend some time with - I've only had a chance to flip through and read Joss' intro so far but it's good enough that I wanted to come back and comment. If you enjoyed Serenity and/or Firefly - you'll love this, in addition to the script you get a bunch of nice behind the scenes stuff.

Really good movie companion!
If you really liked Serenity, you'll love this companion. It has a lot of movie information and is worth getting.
