The book also delves into the wider Back to the Future universe, exploring the animated television show and Back to the Future: The Ride.

Written by Michael Klastorin—the production publicist on the second and third movies—with Back to the Future expert Randal Atamaniuk, this book delivers a range of surprises from the Universal Pictures archives and also includes a wealth of special removable items.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Great Scott! Never has there been a more comprehensive and beautifully detailed exploration into the making of this extraordinary saga! — Elijah Wood

This is the definitive Back to the Future book—vividly written, beautifully laid out and packed with never-before-seen photos and prop reproductions. So, we didn’t get hoverboards and flying cars in 2015. Who cares? WE GOT THIS BOOK! — Peyton Reed, Film Director

Every few pages, there are unique inserts fans can pull out. Examples include a lenticular of Marty’s family photo, a “Save the Clock Tower” flyer...the letter Doc sends to Marty from 1885 and much, much more. The book is worth it for those inserts alone. — io9

This is an amazing book, and it has been a lot of fun to page through it while rewatching the movies. — GeekDad

This book will change the way you watch these movies forever. If you’re a BTTF fan—and let’s face it, I’ve never heard of anyone who’s seen the movie and thinks it’s only OK—Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History is a must-buy. — Geek Tyrant

...scads of beautiful, oversized, behind-the-scenes images. — Washington Post

Get your closest look ever at the future, which is now the present. — Vanity Fair

Celebrating the original film’s 30th anniversary, Michael Klastorin and Randal Atamaniuk’s Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History is the perfect literary companion to the beloved time-traveling trilogy that altered cinema. — Mike's Pop Culture

The release of Michael Klastorin’s Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History provides a mountain of photos and insight into the film trilogy. — Vulture

...takes fans behind the scenes of the beloved trilogy. — ABC News Radio

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best BTTF Book Ever Written
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022
Verified Purchase
For anyone who is a fan of the legendary Back to the Future franchise, I cannot stress enough how great this book is. From replica props in between pages to printed schematics of what they originally envisioned the Time Machine to look like while going from before the first film up to the BTTF ride, cartoon, video game, etc, this has it all.

I originally found this book back about 4 years ago at a Barnes and Noble. I (foolishly) passed up on it then, but never forgot it. By the time I got around to going back, it had been discontinued and copies on the second hand market were steadily going up. I had heard that an updated printing was coming out, held off until it hit the market and bought myself one and a fellow BTTF enthusiast friend one off Amazon. He absolutely loved it as much as I did.

For me, it's the be-all end-all for BTTF books about the creation of the franchise, and I cannot recommend it strongly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for Back to the Future fans
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2022
Verified Purchase
This was a throughly enjoyable book. The text was informative and entertaining and filled with quotes and stories from the cast and crew. The little movie prop reproductions were great too. I love the photo of Marty and his siblings. It is one of those where when you tilt it the siblings disappear. Cute touch. My only mild complaint is the reproductions are held to the pages with a dot of mild gum. It comes off with out hurting the page but you have a choice of removing them carefully and risk loosing these lovely things or leaving them there and let them fall off or let the heavier letters rip a page as you are looking at the book. I'm going to glue a large envelope on the inside of the back cover to keep them in.

I bought this for my 4 year old as a gift since he loves the Back to the Future movies (as does the rest of my family) and we've all loved looking through the book and at the little pieces of memorabilia that come with it (like Doc's letters to Marty, the save the clock tower flyer, etc.)
