Every page of this 350 page book is crammed full of information and photographs that make it fascinating beginning to end! If you are a film fan, particularly a vintage film fan, BUY THIS BOOK! You will not be disappointed!

Hollywood Archives

One would think there couldn't be another anecdote about Hollywood that hasn't already been unearthed. But, "Hollywood Archives" is a treasure of wonderful new insights mined through the memories of thoses who lived in the moment and those who were priviledged onlookers. Lots of photos never before published with intimate looks in private scrapbooks as well as the glamour produced by the studio PR machines. Fascinating for everyone- not just Tinseltown addicts!! Now there truly can't be a stone left unturned...
