I saw this in my local bookstore today.

"We Don't Need Roads: The Making of the BTTF Trilogy"

I didn't know this was in the works. I'll likely go back and pick-up a copy for myself. It has a Bob Gale endorsement on the front cover and one on the back cover by Ernest Cline, the author of Ready Player One (which was the novel that gave away a DeLorean as part of the book marketing/contest).

Post back if you read it or know what the story is.

Bought but haven't read yet.

Book was written over about 3 years... Interviewed most of the cast and production team.
Supposedly some good anecdotes in there.
In the past he also wrote about Pee-Wee's Playhouse and A Christmas Story.

Another book to pre-order is Back To The Future : Ultimate Visual History. Comes out in October...

Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History would be the one...

Jonathan,
Thanks for the reminder. I’m on the backtothefuture.com email reminder list and I received an email mentioning this paper back book last February 2nd.
I just placed an order for “We Don’t Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy” by Caseen Gaines through Amazon.
Not sure exactly when it will arrive but I can’t wait! Later I can provide a review of the book but whatever I write won’t mean anything if you don’t already love the BTTF trilogy.
