Photographic paperback binding with light blue and white coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. Colour photograph of author to the rear book panel. Using classics such as Chinatown, Casablanca, And through a Glass Darkly, the author reveals the shape and inner life of the well crafted scene.

A little rubbing of the book edges and panels and a previous owner has underlined some of the text. There is a horizontal crease to the front panel, and a crease to the back strip. Age toning of the text block edges and pages. Size: Trade Paperback. X, 467 pages. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1.
