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.

Another Do not open until Christmas Day.



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?

The book Harryhausen - The Lost Movies which i received for Christmas is a gem if you are interested in Ray's films.

This deals with films that never got made or sequences from films that were made but had ideas and plot points removed or in some cases films Ray decided to turn down after coming up with concepts.

It's an easy but informed read and lavishly illustrated and is a superb companion piece to the other Harryhausen coffee table books i own - The Art of Ray Harryhausen and An Animated Life.
