For Movie Lovers January 10, 2007

This book is extremely comprehensive in scope -- and quite compact in size. Actually, my only negative relates to the size. The print is very small -- be prepared to need good light if your eyesight is anything less than perfect. The movie reviews are concise and, I find, pretty reliable.
I like the fact that you can reference by title, cast members, and director.

I bought this for friends who live over in England. They had bought the 2001 edition while living here in the U.S. They swore by the 2001 edition and used it constantly. They called to report it was falling apart, and they could not find a replacement in England. I found the 2006 version on Amazon.com; bought it; and had it shipped directly to them in England. It was delivered within 10 days. They called to report it had arrived and were very pleased.

This is not the most comprehensive book of this type that I have seen, but it is by far the best for its size. I will always have one in my library.

We've tried several other guides over the years but always come back to this one. Get a magnifying glass, though!

For me, this will always be the best source for DVD and video information but the downsizing of the book and the print this year is a bit ridiculous. My reading glasses aren't much help with this tiny Advil bottle print. I need to be able to read what's in the book in order to give it the 5 stars I would otherwise award it. Hopefully, the 2007 edition will return to the more easily readable 2005 format.
