Photos I took of Ralph McQuarrie, Dennis Muren and Phil Tippett (I have a photo of Irvin Kershner but have to find the original negative or print in my archives) are available upon request. Unfortunately, wasn't able to get a photo of Richard Edlund as the Academy was very strict back in the 90's not allowing cameras and photography (this was before cel phones with quality cameras folks:) Book is in overall excellent unread, condition!
