Unlike many film novelizations, this edition was written by Spielberg himself and expands upon the story of ordinary people drawn together by mysterious encounters with unidentified flying objects. The film transformed popular culture's perception of extraterrestrial life and helped redefine modern science fiction cinema through its sense of wonder, optimism, and unforgettable visual storytelling. This First Dell Printing from December 1977 is highly desirable for collectors of vintage science fiction, Spielberg memorabilia, UFO literature, and movie tie-in paperbacks. Protected in a new archival-quality removable sleeve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2312\" data-end=\"2332\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteven Spielberg has always been fascinated with extraterrestrials as can be seen in his newest film Disclosure. I, Deb, had the privilege of visiting the studio of Doug Trumbull who did the special effects. He was a genius and was also truly interested in extraterrestrial life. He was in the process of developing a unique type of film experience that I believe was doubling as a way to contact life on other planets. But who knows. This is an original and well worth the investment. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Debs Book Paradise","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44305950572724,"sku":"SF-4","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/9279\/1220\/files\/closecoverandspine.jpg?v=1785009926","url":"https:\/\/debsbookparadise.com\/products\/close-encounters-of-the-third-kind-by-steven-spielberg","provider":"Debs Book Paradise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
