Hasslein Books Announces Upcoming Planet of the Apes

Lexicon of the Planet of the Apes: The Comprehensive Encyclopedia, a 425-page volume covering the entire Planet of the Apes franchise from Aldo to Zira, will be released this coming holiday season.

If you've ever wished you could learn more about the Planet of the Apes mythos... if you've devoured the films and TV series, but have never read the comic books or novels that continued their story... if you're tantalized by time travel and titillated by trivia... if you think you know all there is to know about simian society... then Lexicon of the Planet of the Apes is meant for you.

This staggeringly complete lexicon from Hasslein Books, written by Timeline of the Planet of the Apes author Rich Handley and designed by Paul C. Giachetti, will contain:

* Nearly 3,200 alphabetical entries in more than 50 indexed categories, detailing every character, creature, device, institution, location, scientific innovation, weapon, vehicle and more, from every Planet of the Apes movie, episode, cartoon, comic and novel to date

* More than 25 lifelike, full-page sketches, as well as a breathtaking cover painting, from famed illustrator Patricio Carbajal, produced exclusively for this volume

* A motherlode of information regarding unpublished, unfilmed or uncompleted scripts, novels, comics and more, direct from the creators themselves, as well as long-forgotten stage and arena shows and short films from the 1970s

* An insightful, nostalgic and witty foreward written by famed literary critic and blogger John Kenneth Muir, the author of 21 reference books about film and television

* And a sneak-peak at BLAM! Ventures' upcoming licensed tie-in novel, Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes, courtesy of co-author Andrew E. C. Gaska

John Muir calls Lexicon of the Planet of the Apes: The Comprehensive Encyclopedia "the realization of a childhood fantasy... the book I only wish I had in hand when I was twelve years old and longing for more detail, more knowledge, more understanding of time warps, Hasslein Curves, Achilles Lists and the like."

Designed for both casual readers and those who devour encyclopedias from start to finish, Lexicon of the Planet of the Apes will help you learn everything there is to know about the upside-down world of Planet of the Apes. For more information, including pricing and the official release date, keep an eye on Hasslein Books' Web site, hassleinbooks.com.
