This book is interesting also for those who are not huge fans of Tarantino, because it talks about a lot of movies that have influenced the director over the years. 

Through in-depth and informative text written by renowned film journalist Ian Nathan, and packed with stunning images from the Kobal archives, this biography examines the entirety of Tarantino’s work, including his early writing on screenplays such as True Romance and Natural Born Killers, his break-out directorial debut Reservoir Dogs and the career defining Pulp Fiction, as well as his later iconic films, such as Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. The book also delves behind the scenes of Tarantino’s latest masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

What I like the most about this book, is its explanations about how Tarantino’s brilliant mind works to make every movie starting from the things that inspired him. Every chapter explores one of Tarantino’s films from conception to production accompanied by excellent behind the scenes photographs.
