Alien Art Book

Right after seeing Alien for the first time, I ran to the local mall and got a big, soft-bound book about the art that went into making the movie. It had these incredible pics and storyboards. This had to be "B Dalton" or "Walden's Books". Maybe 1979 or 1980. Anyway, its long lost. Is anyone old enough to remember this? I wonder if I could find a copy....Samples:

Thanks for the look-see, guys. I love how Cameron expanded on the "utilitarian" space look. The first movie had that fever dream kind of feel, though. I love Halo-but it is such a copy of this....

I forgive Bungie, they've stated numerous times that they were inspired greatly by Aliens. Besides, it would only be bad if Halo sucked. Which it doesn't. Well, the first one didn't.

Actually that's not right. The second and third were great multiplayer-wise.
