Sweet :).

I was checking Amazon and they do have it for less and is scheduled for October, while Amazon UK will have it at end of September.

Cover has been updated on Amazon. Though this is also a cool looking cover, I wish they had kept the original cover choice with the scene from the film.

It's Harry Lange's artwork, so that's still cool. Can't wait!

The Taschen Making of 2001 box set is the first out of the gate, and it's gorgeous!

Site says the "standard" edition is SOLD OUT, but they do have a $1,500 limited edition that comes with an art print, still available.

And if they do it like their earlier "Kubrick's Napoleon" book, there might be an affordable reader's edition available sometime later. But nothing like that has been announced yet.

A must for true 2001 fans!

Short answer: oh yes. :cool

My one regret, it seems, we might not get to see the David Larson/Doug Trumbull "Making of 2001" book and documentary they were working on. I have heard nothing about the project in years. Trumbull said they were C&D'd by Warner Bros, essentially.

Pity.
 
The Harry Lange 2001 sketches book seems to have been pushed back to 2015 on the Reel Art Press site. Amazon still says September, which has of course already passed.
