...this book could well be dangerous - serves its purpose as a homage to the nitrate filmStephen Bury - Head of the European and American Collections, The British Library (London)

[A]n extraordinary anthology which includes everything from poetry to graphs, film-can labels to stars wrapped in celluloid, as well as some extremely informative papers. It is, emphatically, not a book for the tidy-minded or the reader in a hurry to get to the point. But for anyone who feels drawn to the material as well as to the mythology of film, it's fascinating.
