The Space Odyssey Books of Arthur C. Clarke (above - click).	There are many more Space Odyssey recordings than the familiar 2001 soundtrack (above - click).	Here is part of the notation if you care to try "Also Sprach Zarathustra" on your piano (above).	The Underview "Through Other Eyes" - books and publications about 2001 (above - click).
2001 Cinema Programmes (above and below - click). Other programme variations include the "widescreen" format with a silver cover and a black and white version. While not uncommon in themselves, the crease- and fingerprint- prone nature of these programmes has ensured that mint copies are hard to find nowadays.	I am not aware of any philatelic items related to 2001 itself but things do occasionally turn up with the right credentials. This first day cover (above), signed by Arthur C. Clarke, was produced for Cyberfest in March 1997. The 1969 moon landing cover (below) has been embellished with a "moonscape" and signed by Robert McCall, artist responsible for those 2001 paintings (as used for the soundtrack cover above).	Keepers of original artwork produced for 2001 (above and below) keep it well guarded, but artists such as Simon Atkinson (click) continue to help satisfy a demand for modern original pieces of professional standard.	Reproductions can be found of scripts purporting to be originals, though I am not clear about the authentication process used to prove that they really were used in shooting.
Detail (right) from an extremely attractive sheet issued by the Central African Republic, which included three 600 franc stamps featuring scenes from Star Wars surrounded by images, as shown, combined from 2001 and 2010. I am not sure of the issue date.
The Sri Lanka Department of Posts issued this pair of stamps (right), featuring Sir Arthur C. Clarke, in 1999 to mark a half century of communications in that country.
