Guillermo del Toro is an outstanding visionary of modern cinema, the author of such international hits as "The Labyrinth of the Faun" and "The Devil's Backbone", "Hellboy" and "The Water Formula" (the film was nominated for thirteen Oscars and won four). Equally legendary are the pictures he never made: an adaptation of Lovecraft's "Ridges of Madness", a steampunk version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" called "The Left Hand of Darkness"...
This book not only contains del Toro's story about all his cherished projects, realized and not, but gives you a unique opportunity to look into the creative kitchen of the master, to polistat his workbooks, to get acquainted with the collection, which he collects all his life: "Cold House can safely be called a cabinet of rarities, my Kunstkamera. I have indulged in collecting... because my collection is the world as I see it. As I see it in my soul." "The artifact you hold in your hands is a unique portal to see how the gears of an amazing mind turn. Guillermo del Toro's notebooks have been compared to Leonardo da Vinci's codices for a reason: both are a reflection of the creative process of a genius unique to his era, and perhaps to history as a whole. There is no one in the entire world of cinema who can compare with Guillermo del Toro..." (James Cameron).
