Catherine Hardwicke says ‘thanks’ to Twilight fans for making Twilight: The Director’s Notebook, the No 1 book at the New York Times Bestseller’s list this week. That is really an amazing achievement! I’ve bought the book and I must say that I enjoyed reading it. It has some interesting stuff on the film, including how stunts were done, make up and wardrobe, location scouting, and many others.

Here’s a video from her:

We are very fortunate to have Alisande from Plexus Publishing sent us a copy of the Robert Pattinson Album. I’ve just finished reading it and I must say that I’m impressed. The  glossy, A4 pictures were gorgeous but the written content of this book was quite impressive. It is an ‘unauthorised’ biography, but everything that Paul Stenning wrote was well researched, and I have actually read a lot of it from various interviews that Rob has previously done.

This book actually provides you with an extensive background on Robert, his career aspirations and hopes for the future. Compared to a lot of other ‘unauthorised’ biographies out there, this book doesn’t make me feel like I’m reading a gossip magazine. Every chapter of the book sounds  professional, objective and very much fact-oriented.  I am embarrassed to admit this, but I own quite a few of these ‘unauthorised’ biographies ( I would rather not tell you which ones they are). Nevertheless, if you would like to own only one book, this one comes highly recommended.

This book is already available in the US and UK at the moment. However, Australians and New Zealanders will have to wait a little longer.  The book has found a publisher here, Five Miles Press.  It will be available in Australia and New Zealand (at a much more reasonable price) very very soon. We will keep you updated with when it’s going to be available on bookstores and where you can get them from.

We have just received some more good news in regards to the ‘Robert Pattinson Album‘ book!  The book’s rights have been bought by Five Mile Press and they will make sure that it will be available in Australia and New Zealand asap. Instead of buying from Amazon (and incurring that ridiculously huge amount of shipping costs) it’s defitinely worth waiting for this book to come out at a bookstore near you. We will update you with news on when and where you can get the book!

By the way, I just adore that ‘close-up’ picture of Rob, all in black. I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures in this book.

Good news for everyone who are waiting in anticipation to buy this lovely book. This book is filled with 75-pages of beautiful & glossy pictures of Rob accompanied by a well-researched biography.  I was informed by Alisande from Plexus Publishing UK that they have found an Australian distributor. This means that we will be able to purchase this book from Australian and NZ bookstores in a few months time. If you absolutely can’t wait to get your hands on this book, you can get it from Amazon from the 17th of February.
