Rather than write a description myself, I'll leave it to Ross Adams, the editor of "Dress Circle: the Movie Enthusiasts' Magazine."
I fully endorse everything the reviewer says in his professional comments below. I particularly like his comment that my book "provides the movie enthusiast with a wealth of information that cannot be found in any other publication."
This was my aim!
