Title: If you love the movie, you'll LOVE the book!
Review: For those that have Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell, Updated Edition the companion book for the TV Series, this new volume that covers the movie is a must have. The design of this new hardcover is obviously by the same team that created "Kiss and Tell"; this new book is lavishly illustrated with large photos from both behind-the-scenes and the finished movie. The photos are exquisite and colorful, albeit a little over-enhanced (the area under the stars' eyes are airbrushed to the point that there are NO lines and NO pouch at all; just unnaturally flat. who did the awful retouching? In some photos the main stars just look plain fake). And that is my one beef with this book, and it's a minor one. Just the fact that the Vogue wedding-gown photos are included here makes up for it (interesting to learn here that the Vogue crew was used to make this photo-shoot for the movie as authentic as possible, even to the point of getting Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour's approval).An interesting recap of what it took to get this tale on the big-screen is included (getting Carrie's original desk from the series out of the Smithsonian for filming!); and you will learn how the paparazzi made a definite annoyance of themselves during filming, causing Michael Patrick King to get very creative so that key plot elements would stay a surprise. For newbies to the TV series and those who are nostalgic for it, there is also a recap of each of the six seasons, complete with photos.The story of the movie is told in big beautiful photos and a minimum of text; most of the film's memorably classic lines are included ("Here's to the groom--a man who finally got 'Carrie-d' away"). There are a handful of photos that represent scenes that were cut, with the best being one of Evan Handler (Harry) from a deleted Halloween sequence, dressed as Uncle Fester from "The Addams Family," complete with a lightbulb in his mouth!This is more of a "family-friendly" book; if you are looking for a shot of Samantha covered in sushi, you will not find it here. Nor will you find a photo of Dante's butt (a few of him barechested in the shower, but not the rear) or the hot-lovemaking sequences with Cynthia Nixon.The book also includes a wonderful mapping of where the movie was actually filmed; you can create your own "Sex and the City" tour by using this section that tells you what was filmed in reality and what was created on a soundstage.I cannot highly recommend this volume enough; a quality job with excellent design sense - just like its characters!

Title: For All Those SATC Lovas
Review: This book is a complete must-have for any SATC devotee. Like its older sister, Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell book, it includes amazing photographs of all the girls and indicates the designer's name of each piece from their ensemble and a background on each character, for those who have been living in a hole for the past ten years, not to mention many additional photos from (and cut from) the movie. It also includes how the movie was brought together and created (even a map of where the movie was filmed) and SATC trivia. It truly is a fabulous book to add to your collection!

Title: Fabulous Buy
Review: I bought five of these books. Even though I purchased the movie, I was too excited to spot this book in a local bookstore. Not only is it a great "look book" displaying the character fashion plays in the movie, it gave great insight and detail to things that just whiz by on screen. I was like a kid in a candy store! I went online to Amazon and bought four more books for my sister, cousins, and best-girlfriend. They all loved it! Flipping through the book is like a shot in the arm of estrogen, you just want to play with your wardrobe a little more:)

Title: Sex and the City Movie Book
Review: I am a huge fan of SATC & I have been buying all products to do with the movie. When I came across this book on Amazon - I had to have it.It's a beautiful hardback book with behind the scenes pictures, comments and at the back it has a list of all the outfits that the girls wear. You do get a bit sick of the "Vintage" because they can't tell you the label or where they got it from.It's a must for an SATC fan!

Title: A must have for any Sex and The City Fan!
Review: Being a die hard Sex and The City Fan, I ordered the book as soon as I heard it was available for pre-order.If you haven't seen the movie and you want to remain unspoiled, do not get this book until after you have seen it... It follows the film's story chronologically containing many spoilers.If you are a huge Sex and The City fan, like myself, this book is a must have. Not only is it an excellent recap of the movie, but it also provides a look into the making of the movie, and the actresses thoughts on the film and reviving these characters.The book is loaded with photographs including a spread of the many outfits the ladies wore through out the movie (all of which were gorgeous!) and many beautiful pictures of the cast.With that said, one might think the book is Perfection, however it does have a flaw or two...The section of the book that follows the story line of the movie (which is on the top of each page) feels like it is written in the fashion of a children's picture book, almost reminding me of a fairy tale. Since it's simply written, it does leave you feeling a little unfulfilled. But we must remember, it's not a novelization of the film, so the simply written style is perfectly fitting.the other flaw in this book is that there are mention to a few scenes in the movie that were cut out. That leaves you thinking "huh, I don't remember that happening". For a minute I thought that when I saw the movie in theaters I must have been in such awe that I missed parts of the movie, but after asking my fiancee about said missing scenes, we arrived to the conclusion they must have been edited out... which is disappointing, but they will always be in the deleted scenes section of the DVD!Other than those small flaws, the book is a fabulous addition to any single city girl's (or Sex and the City fan's) home library.

Review: The package seemed OK. Once opened, I found that the book was dirty and broken in different parts. Just very unfortunate. A horrible experience.

Review: A beautiful book / album with all the movie details, outfits, and photos. If you were looking for the Vogue photo session Carrie had before the wedding here you can find all the pictures. The set of 3 books (two others are Kiss and Tell, and the book from SATC movie 2) I gave to my maid of honor as a "thank you" present. She was really happy as well. I think I don’t have to mention that the same set I bought for myself. Really love it!!!
