One of our readers, who only identified himself as "Michael," tipped us off overnight to a really cool-looking item that is
up for pre-order at Amazon.com. It is a Book,
The Lost Chronicles : The Official Companion Book. 176 pages long, it ships on
September 28th from Hyperion Books. The description bills this item as "filled with a detailed episode guide and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show, the fully illustrated book offers plot twists and backstories that will help fans uncover the mysteries of
Lost. Also included are reflections and anecdotes from cast members, writers, and executive producer/creator J. J. Abrams that readers won't find anywhere else."
So why are we talking about this here at TVShowsOnDVD? Because this trade paperback book also "
comes with an exclusive hour-long DVD containing unaired scenes from the show"! With the use of the word "exclusive," it sounds like these scenes will not necessarily be among those included on the season set's extras. If so, then it seems like this might be something that will be a must-have item to accompany the 9/6 release of
Lost - The Complete 1st Season. Amazon's cost for the book is $12.89 (the SRP is $18.95). Thanks, Michael, for letting us know about this. Here's the cover art:
