There don't seem to be any new movie books coming out for this Christmas.

The movie art of Graham Humphreys looks okay but there are only 176 or so pages.

Has anyone got that Lost Harryhausen book? Is that any good?

Any recommendations?

I'm in the market for suggestions too :) Since we're mid buying an apartment and have foolishly also booked a holiday to Japan in the 2nd week of January we decided to just get each other one Christmas gift each so I think I'd like a nice book related to cult and/or horror.

Well I don't know if this will help but I've always found the two John Waters tomes Shock Value & Crackpot to be fun reads. The former being more or less a rundown of his filmography whilst the latter is a collection of pieces relating to his obsessions. Cough.

There is a new John Waters book as well which is already on my wish list with amazon. It’s called Indecent Exposure and is the tie in book for his exhibition in America.

Anyone need another reference book for 1930s horror?

New edition of Stephen Thrower's Murderous Passions.

Craig Miller was the original Director of Fan Relations at Lucasfilm, working on "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back". As part of that, he was a publicist, a writer, an editor, and a producer. He wrote press material and articles, created and ran the Official Star Wars Fan Club, oversaw a staff who opened and responded to the seeming tons of fan mail the films received, worked with licensees, created a telephone publicity stunt that accidentally shut down the state of Illinois’ phone system, was the producer on projects ranging from episodes of "Sesame Street" to commercials for Underoos (“underwear that’s fun to wear”), operated R2-D2, and spent weeks hanging out on the set of "The Empire Strikes Back".
In the words of Gary Kurtz, producer of "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back", “’Star Wars Memories’ gives a look at the original Star Wars films and Lucasfilm from Craig Miller’s unique perspective. This isn’t another ‘making of’ book with the same stories and information that have appeared in other books and countless magazine articles. It’s a book of stories you haven’t heard before; an insider’s look from someone who, himself, is a fan and found the whole experience joyful and exciting. These stories are told in a way that brings you in and makes you feel like you were there.”

Have you got the Anthony Daniels book, Dave?

If so have you read it and is it any good?

Not got that one yet Dem. That's on my list with a few others.

It's currently in Asda's 2 for £14 offer on books, cd and dvd.
