I wish Rinzler included a flashdrive to go with the book that had all of the Alien scripts, especially Walter Hill's first draft (where Mother was the villain). Another excellent Alien item to have is the Alien: The Blueprints Hardcover – Illustrated, September 24, 2019
by Graham Langridge. He goes by the name of "SpaceJockey" on AVP Forums. I had a tiny bit of involvement.
When he was discussing the creation of the blueprints, everyone agreed that the Nostromo would have an element of symmetry with the escape shuttles, ie one in each wing. To justify the fact that there was only one operational shuttle, I suggested calling the other shuttle the Salmacis (from the Genesis song "The Fountain of Salmacis"). The song describes a demigod running into a forest hunting a doe. He stumbles upon a lake, from which he drinks from. The nymph in the lake demands compensation by joining with him forever, creating the first hermaphrodite (as she was the daughter of Aphrodite, hence the origin of the name). The story behind the Salmacis was that a technical malfunction (imagine Dark Star) caused the Salmacis to fuse with the garage, and the Company never took the time to repair it, thus leaving it fused to the wing of the Nostromo.
the Warren Alien magazine is a nice collector item, as well as the Avon Alien photo novel. It was with the photo novel and the side profile shot of the Nostromo that I computed the true measurement of the Nostromo to be around 1600 feet long by 1400 feet wide (if you use the tip toe of the landing gear as well as the height of the bridge window as a tool of measurement, as the bridge window would have to be around 10 feet tall, and the landing leg tip around 6 feet).
I would also keep an eye out for the Cinefantastique Alien issue (Volume 9, #1), as it has a TON of information on the film.

Love the Kane – face hugger miniature. Thanks for sharing, man.
I have a lot of these pieces but seeing a few I don't have, now I need! I'm surprised you don't have the Alien Quad set in the Alien head. That is one of my prize pieces. Thank you!
congrats on the baby!
heck yeah!
THE big chap
That Total Recall print is great.
The alien art book that has those references to Gigers diary is one of the dearest books in my collection. I both it when I was a teenager.
