Synopsis
From the scorching sands of Cairo to the Canyon of the Crescent Moon, this personal journal of Dr Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr chronicles every thrilling adventure, from the original Raiders of the Lost Ark to the eagerly anticipated fourth feature film. Filled with sketches, notes and jottings in the great man's own hand, and accompanied by rare archive photos and much material never published before, the journal records the artefacts and discoveries, the folklore and the characters -- not to mention the narrow escapes and heroic escapades -- encountered on each of his globetrotting travels. For Indiana Jones fans old and new who wish to recapture the excitement of these legendary films in book form, The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones provides a uniquely vivid inside view of the swashbuckling world of cinema's most popular adventurer.
Cool Collectable
Review date: 2008-07-16 Rating: 8 out of 10
This will probably only appeal to hardcore Indiana Jones fans, but such fans should be delighted with this 'authentic' looking journal, of which a lot of work seems to have gone into. Done in the style of a genuine journal with realistic looking leather binding containing sketches, newspaper articles and sepia-tinted photgraphs (although these shots from the films are a little silly - at no point in the films did any of the characters start snapping away with a camera!)It's the sort of book that takes very little time to read and is more of a collectable item that will look very cool lying on a coffee table for people to flick through.

An excellent partner to the films

Just received this book and for the price Amazon are selling it for, it's a massive bargain. Any Indy fan should buy this. It fills in the missing information looking at different aspects to Jones' life from teaching, the various experiences he had as a child to the thoughts in his head conveyed onto paper.
It has humour and really makes you think that that Indiana Jones was a real person. It makes you want to own your own journal, of course mine would not even be a percent as interesting as this.
Indiana Jones. I have your Journal!

This is a great book for all Indiana Jones fans. Packed with notes, drawings, sketches, photos and information as if Indy had written it himself. You do start to think that you have a genuine piece of Indiana Jones real memorabilia in your hands. Even the pages are made to look worn. Follow Indy through his life as a young boy to presnt day. Also if you have them play the music to the films in the background at the same time you read the book. Great stuff.
