I enjoyed the book immensely. It gives a great insight into how a film is actually made, and it is written in a very entertaining way; thank you, Sophie.
Did you prefer the paperback or the ebook? They are quite similar.
I have read the paperback but am only half-way through the e-book. I love them both. I usually prefer a ‘proper’ book but the behind-the-scenes footage in the e-book are a treasure.
I prefer to have a book in my hand too – and of course they make wonderful presents.
They do. I love giving them and I have received some beautiful volumes from people over the years.
You can’t have too many books!
I’m glad you say that. I do have a lot and I am gradually cataloguing them; it is taking a long time! I’m not sure my late wife would necessarily have completely agreed with your sentiment! It’s nice to have an ally!
Books make good insulation.
I like that. I wish i’d have thought of that when I had, albeit mild, really, opposition to increasing my library!
