The other reviewer was clearly not aware that the DK Eyewitness guides are intended primarily for use by children. This guide is fully up to the standards of the rest of the series, with explanatory text surrounding beautiful photos.
I bought this book as a replacement to one that was borrowed and lost from the library. It was shipped in a very timely manner and the wrapping on it was excellent. It is a great book and I enjoyed reading it very much.
I have to echo what another reviewer has noted -- this is a book for children. BUT, many adults will find it a real pleasure, especially if you do not already know the subject. DK books are renowned for excellent design and this series of Eyewitness Books is very pleasing visually. The only reason I give the book 4 stars rather than 5 is the slightly-too-great nod at the end of the book to commercialism and marketing in contemporary film.
i am hooked on this series. i love all the DK published books that i have seen so far. these are so well illustrated and so easy to read, it is like being in a well done art history class.
Our son was delighted to receive this book for Christmas. It is a great book for any child interested in film and movie making. Would love to see an updated addition published.
This book should not be sold to anyone over the age of 12. With the exception of a few interesting photos, this book is a dud. No new points of interest even for the average film buff. Spend your money on something more satisfying....like chocolate.
