just wondering if you were going to buy one book of h.r giger art which one you might choose?
was thinking this book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Giger-40th-Ed-Andreas-Hirsch/dp/3836587025/ref=sr_1_20?crid=30HVU0BJYIKBR&keywords=h.r+giger&qid=1677712626&sprefix=h.r+%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-20

thread inspired by the film alien on atm on itv 4 🙂
That looks great. I have Necronomicon and New York XXIV.
I think I have pdf of the former somewhere.
I downloaded the HR Geger Necronomicon recently, might have been prompted by something on here. Maybe. It's here anyway:

Yep, thats the edition I have in print and the pdf.
I'd forgotten where I got it from.
Dimensions of the book OP links to are rather small. Taschen know that people look for a high page count above other details.
Challenge is the original large format boots go for silly money so unless you find one at a car boot or eBay for a daft low price you’re probably stuck with the rights and reprint buyers like Taschen.
I’m sure the Taschen book is worth £20 but it’s nothing compared to the originals in scale and impact.
I have a copy of "The Book of Alien" seems very old. I will also look out for a pdf.

thank you all for the replies/links 🙂
Blimey, this reminded me I have a copy of the DKs album frankenchrist with the original poster of gigers Penis Landscape. I do wonder what my mind mum thought of that on her teenage kids bedroom wall 🤣

I would guess those books were still silly money by comparison to the average price of books at the time of publication. Size, length of print-run, etc.
The Museum in Gruyeres in worth a visit. He did like a phallic/phannic symbol
I had that book the OP links to in soft cover as an A level art student mid '90s, straight outta Bookseller.
Imagery was all a bit dark for me tbh.
