Amsterdam University Press, 2014. Softcover. Fine Condition. Clean unmarked pages, no highlighting or annotations, slight creasing to top of front cover. German cinema is best known for its so-called "Golden Age" - the Expressionist films of the 1920s - and for its long line of outstanding individual directors, from Fritz Lang and Ernst Lubitsch, F. W. Murnau and G. W. Pabst, to Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders, R. W. Fassbinder and Alexander Kluge. But the double spotlight on art cinema and auteurs, reflecting this national cinema's struggle for cultural respectability and reliance on psychological introspection, has only deepened the obscurity surrounding the other side of that history: the face and fate of its popular cinema. A case in point are the first two decades, about which little is known, even though German history has benefited in recent years from a renewed interest in early cinema generally. Critical attention has, however, so far tended to concentrate on institutions,… Read More

Cooper Square, 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. In as new condition-clean and bright; very small black spot on lower closed page block. In A Silent Siren Song: The Aitken Brothers' Hollywood Odyssey, 1905-1926, Al Nelson and Mel Jones effectively collaborate to tell a story of Hollywood's silent screen era as represented by Harry and Roy Aitken, two of film history's most innovative movie makers and their cadre of the great directors and stars of the day. These notables ranged from D.W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, and Mary Pickford, to Lillian Gish, Mabel Normand, "Fatty" Arbuckle, and Douglas Fairbanks Sr. A Silent Siren Song traces the Aitkens' brothers rise from small-time film distributors to the captaining of a genuine movie empire and the production of silent era classics from the Keystone Kops to "Birth of a Nation". This is an impressive, informative, and very welcome contribution to personal and academic film history collections. 288… Read More

Techwatch Books, 2018. First Edition thus. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; small nick to jacket at top of spine. In the 1980s the American heavyweights Perkin-Elmer and GCA came under incredible fire from their Japanese competitors Canon and Nikon in the chip lithography market. As a result, the US lost its two-decade monopoly on this key technology, which is the driving force behind Moore’s law.Meanwhile, an obscure, inconsequential lithography company in the Netherlands was taking its first steps. This company, ASML, is now an unparalleled success. It is the world’s biggest and most profitable machinery manufacturer for the chipmaking industry. With a market share of 70 to 80 percent, ASML has been leaving Canon and Nikon in the lithographic dust for years.In ASML’s Architects René Raaijmakers returns to the birthplace of the wafer stepper and the roots of ASML’s stunning global success.

Continuum, 2004. Softcover. A Very Good copy-clean, no loose pages, just light wear to cover edges, bright pages. Steve Taylor's A-X on Xfm is one of the most impressive shows on commercial radio in the UK - a thorough, genuine, intelligent and analytical trawl through fifty years of alternative music and the personalities, culture and social influences behind it. The book is an ideal companion to the series, but also very interesting on its own as both a reference (to look up details of a particular artist or band) or to be dipped into at random. Taylor's style has the right blend of knowledge and enthusiasm with sufficient cynicism to prevent this being a mere hagiography.Ideally, the book would come with an accompanying set of CDs or DVDs with the entire radio series on it. Possibly one day Xfm will make such archival material available; if it does not, it will be something of a tragedy. 320 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1kg.

2011. Hard Cover. Very Good. Aerosmith : The Unofficial Illustrated History of Boston's Bad Boys.Bienstock, Richard. 2011. Large hardcover, 222 pages, illustrated. Very Good. Bright, clean and glossy, small bubble to lower edge of rear cover, otherwise all very good. Another Aerosmith book - but a good 'un. Story wise there's nothing much new in here that you haven't already read about before in other Aerosmith biographies or interviews with the band. If your a newcomer to the boys though then it's a good place to start, it's a pretty decent history of the band that gives you all the main events without getting too deep into it - it leaves that for other books. But the real reason for buying this book is the incredible pictures from the 70's to present day. As an Aerosmith nut I was slightly annoyed at seeing the same photos over and over in other Aerosmith books, so this is an absolute joy, great unseen pics to many from the bands career, for a 70's Aerosmith nut… Read More
