A Good Introduction to the History of Films

This book is unique because its not just a book that gives a straight chronological view of the history of filmmaking. From Scholastic Voyages of Discovery series, in this book there are a set of stickers that you place throughout the book. Flip books, fold outs, transparencies, this book is a treat for anyone that enjoys films or for the beginner who is looking to learn the craft. Unfortunately this book is currently out of print, but its a fairly recent book so perhaps finding it will not be difficult. Not for the knowledgeable in film art who might be expecting new information. This book is designed for the beginner.
