Although we have not yet seen the cover of the book yet, we do know a few things from the press release. The book will be available on October 6, 2009–roughly a month and a half before New Moon comes out. It will be a behind-the-scene guide to to the making of New Moon, including pictures, sets, etc. It is set to retail for $18.99.

For fans of Twilight, the Illustrated Movie Companion was a great way to get some advance information about what was going to be in the movie, how the characters were going to appear, and what scenes were included. I have no doubt that this one will be the same.

As soon as you can pre-order New Moon: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion, we will get up the links and pictures.

Edited 05-19-09: Still no picture of the front of the book, but you can now pre-order New Moon: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion at Amazon. Click here for more information!

There are three different shorts available in pdf: Narcotics, The Scholarship, and If Jacob Didn’t Break the Rules. My thoughts:

Narcotics: I didn’t like this one. There was something about Edward saying Bella was “high” that I just didn’t like.

The Scholarship: Interesting. And a way to keep Edward in the picture more when he was gone.

If Jacob Didn’t Break the Rules: This is a MAJOR plot shift. Everything pretty much ends the same way to roll into Eclipse, but it’s extremely different. I’d have to go back and reread New Moon to really decide which way I like better.

If you are a true Twilight New Moon fan, you need to check them out.
