Film book

The book came when promised and in the shape promised. I would buy from this seller again at any time.

Not a film history but a book about DOING film history

This is a great book, especially helpful if you are trying to learn how do do historical research. The author, himself a well-respected film historian, reviews several established formats (eg. economic history, social history, technological history) then offers a guide for those trying to do this sort of work. Especially useful for the film instructor or graduate student.
