I'm looking forward to reading the book as soon as it comes out. I have Annie Proulx's latest book on order too. However, I really feel that just one more book needs to be made (at least one, that is). Have you noticed that all of the books about Brokeback Mountain don't have any photos? (correct me if I'm wrong!) Don't you find it odd that a book about a movie doesn't have any photos? ??? ???
I agree with you Jeff that this doesn't appear to be a book about the movie. Neither do any of the other books I have, with the possible exception of Story to Screenplay. One or two are primarily about the story and one would understand why those don't have photos (although the original story DOES have illustrations...watercolors by William Matthews). But, as book after book appears, I'm starting to get impatient to see ONE that has some beautiful color photos in it. Such books have been produced about other movies Ang Lee has done...why not Brokeback Mountain?? ???
The Close Range hardcover collection of short stories includes Matthews' watercolors and they're gorgeous.(http://img2.imagesbn.com/images/55000000/55000676.JPG)
Yes, here is a link to the William Matthews gallery which is in downtown Denver across the street from the Rockmount Ranch Wear store where the shirts were ordered.

William Matthews is a neighbor of mine and his daughter went to school with my daughter.
I see he is selling a copy of the book signed by him for $150.00. Friend Rodney gave me a copy signed by Annie Proulx and one of these days I'll get him to sign it too.
Wow! His paintings are gorgeous!!
Thanks for the link, Lee!
And he's your neighbour? Wow again!
Not to mention that we were right across the street from his gallery when we visited the Rockmount store last May! How'd we miss that?!

This book is already available on ebay for under $18.
Be careful to be sure you're buying from someone who already has the book, not someone who is selling it in advance. I fell into that trap with my first copy of Story to Screenplay.
It just arrived today!
