I had posted this under the SciFi section, but decided to post here as well hoping to get a few more eyes on it. I'm still not certain what this was produced for and any thoughts are appreciated.

The most interesting thing I got is this photo portfolio. 18 pages or so, with two sided full page photos. This is a very impressive book, and it's definitely vintage photos and attention to detail was used to lay it all out.
The interior mentioned that all of the photos included in this portfolio were taken within the first three weeks of shooting before the special effects were filmed. The back says the photography was by Bob Penn and this was compiled by SB International Photographic, London. I looked up Bob Penn and he was the photographer on Alien as well as Aliens and a lot of other movies. SB International was a company that processed onsite photos for movies, including Alien. http://www.stanleybielecki.com/about/
It looks like this was created even before the Alien move was released, maybe for 20th Century Fox, but I have no idea if that's true or not. I did some digging online but didn't find anything listed like this.
Please take a look at these photos and let me know what you think. I didn't take pictures of the other pages, but there's some really nice shots of the production.
