I am sure many of us film fans receive such gifts at Christmas – and will welcome them as I did. This is a very detailed book with few pictures but plenty of detail.

I haven’t read that much of it yet but I did hone in on one particular chapter which was very interesting and told, with dates when some of the Major Studios sold the Television Rights So that we could eventually view them on our small screens

Looking around for film books specialising in the old films often you find that they are no more than re-hashes of things most of us fans have already known and seen.

Something like this is incredibly detailed and will I am sure throw up snippets we did not know – and so we will unearth another ‘jewel’ – at least I hope so

I should have posted this at Christmas of course
