Between this book and "The Case of Beasts" you'll be covered in the making/planning of FBaWtFT. At some points the two books can echo each other but other than that it's another great read. Full of character developing, planning, location research etc. The interviews cover important people in the planning of the movie and each have their own approach to the way they go about their job. It was very insightful to see their thoughts and processes.
