The New Biographical Dictionary of Film by David Thomson

 

This is the Fourth Edition of David Thomson's huge reference book. Unlike his other publications that concentrate on actual movies, these are short pieces about people in film; actors, directors cinematographers, etc etc. For example, it starts with Abbott and Costello and then the art director and production designer Ken Adam. Famous for the Bond movies and winning an Oscar for Barry Lyndon. This book will be invaluable for my film studies.

My edition was published in 2002. There is now a 6th Edition published in 2014 at £31.60 on Amazon. My copy was just over £3.00!
