Review: Getting More For Your Money - The old saying goes, "You get what you pay for." Contrary to this expression, there's also an expression which is one of my all time favorites, "Great things come in small packages." That's exactly what this item is. This is a Christmas gift for my brother whose a screenwriter and knows just about everything there is to know about film, and this will be a great reference, nonetheless, 'just in case there are a few things he doesn't yet know.' Came shipped in with two other gifts, but was wrapped well enough in foam wrapping. The collection is rather impressive from what I was able to see of it. The case is one of the more impressive features, being (out of steel/metal), whatever you wish to call it, which gives the book that "old-style reel look." I was originally going to purchase this at a mall book store, but they were sold out. Great thing about this collection, what I've heard from reviews that is, that this collection is really worth what the inexpensive cost is. I'm not one to judge from an entertainment-industry point of view, but as the brother to one who is, I believed it is most likely a great gift, especially with the references. Maybe he'll even allow me to borrow it from time to time.
Review: Lots of Info packed into 360 pages - I was most interested in the last section titled Must See Movies. I read that first. Then worked my way back to the beginning! I appreciated the attention to film as a global phenomenon - not just a Hollywood history (though of course, that's a substantial part of the book). I recommend for people interested in knowing more about film, without getting into academic details. What I like best about this book is that you can open up to any page and read the info. It's meaty but short with lots of wonderful photos to illustrate and make you want to see so many films - often films you forgot about and would like to see again!

Nice hard cover book, glossy print, informative, but a bit disappointed it did not come with the metal box mentioned by another reviewer.
