"The writing is sharp, informative and amusing throughout." What's On In London "Of course if this book were worth its salt then it'd have to be The Best Book About The Best DVDs etc etc. Thankfully it is. It's awesome in fact. I'm flummoxed how they managed to sit and watch so many films and extras. Must have been tough... lucky bastards." Buzz "It's sober, understated and written by people who really know their stuff." Evening Standard"
