Oh believe me, it's crap. I bought it despite the reviews on Amazon thinking that this book may have some key points of interest, but no. Not only does he insert his own ass-backwards ideas (metaphorical rape and orgasms), he does a terrible job at organizing it all. One minute he's discussing Avatar, the next - a book, and then he's discussing another movie seemingly unrelated to Avatar at all.

Just get Survivalist's Guide... It's good enough

Absolutely! I picked that up in a B&N to look through it and wanted it badly! Same thing with the picture book. Now that I have money, I'll be going to get those.
There are pictures and information in the Survivalist Guide that was filmed but never included in the movie. Here's hoping that will be in the extras on the dvds.

More like "the ultimate avatar cash-in attempt".

Sorry, but if I had unlimited resources at my disposal, I would burn as many of these as I could.

Any book that attempts to appeal to a fanbase with "unauthorized" at the top is usually sh*t.

One word for "writers" like that---BARF!!!

It's OFF of my Amazon list!!!!

Where??

[Human No More]

It doesn't
It's still canon - it's just written to give the impression that it's by a pro-Na'vi human group - which I'm really hoping will come into Avatar 2 somehow

[Woodsprite]

No really; I looked all over the book for anywhere where it could say "unauthorized" and didn't find anything. (I'm that concerned.) I really thought the writers got material from Cameron's sketches (remember Titanic? 'nough said) and notes he wrote, along with closely following the movie, and talking with Cameron himself... isn't that what they did??

[X.,.Pandora.,.X]

The art of avatar (or whatever that book is) isn't that bad either.

[Human No More]

That's official (although in that case, non-canon in some of the content) though
