This book is a required reading for my film class but I had ordered it last minute. When I got it in the mail it was in such good condition! This is important because there are many photos from films that the book uses for examples. There are no torn pages or food stains, and the information in this book is priceless! I've learned so much abooout film and was grateful to have received this book when I was promised to receive it. Now I buy all my books from Alibris. Thank you!
