Does the 'Raising The Bar' book feature screenshots from early development?

[Eternity]

I love watching games go through development. However, with Valve's unique ways of going through things, we really only saw what the final product was going to ultimately look like. I really dug the Gamespot exclusive screenshot of the 2001 proof of concept reel, and want more! Does the Raising The Bar book have any other early screenshots like this, or just descriptions? Because if not, it would be fabulous if Valve sometime in the future releases some clips of that reel...

Yes it does, it also has stuff about how things changed, like eli vance, changing from a colonol to a scientist (see the prima preview on there site) i hear it also probbally explains weapon changes, and why the ship and hydra got cut (and other things), if you liked that article, you would probbally like the book.

:dozey: I am quite motivated to hear confirmation some of us has gotten the books in retail book stores... but I dunno if I should even waste my time with high hope going to Barne & Noble thinking they got it in stock, because their site says the 23rd... goshers.
