Reviews of the second edition:

• "Intriguing content, well written, wide research. Admirable production. Far more than expected in quality, depth and scope. Still photographs have a surprising 3D quality, stunning print reproduction." CF.

• "Just a quick note to say that the new edition of your A CANTERBURY TALE book arrived a few days ago, and I want to offer my congratulations on a class product! I didn't expect the hardback, let alone the quality of the photographs. You made a good choice to go the publication route you did." DT.

• "Got the book today - a splendid production!. The glass shot that you talk about on page 117 was known as the Schufftan Process after the inventor, Eugene Schufftan. He worked at Elstree in the 1930s. A great cinematographer - eg The Hustler (1961) with Paul Newman." AF

• "Congratulations on the Mk2 Book. A great job." JP

• "Probably the best book I've read on cinema history. I hope to make my own pilgrimage to Canterbury with your book as an invaluable companion." RW

• "I bought a copy of your book, which I've enjoyed tremendously. What a fantastic source of information John Sweet's 1940s memoir must have been for you." LE

• "Just to say how marvellous your new edition is ...so beautifully produced! It's a real treasure trove." I.C.

Parkers, the printers, have had to shut up shop so these books are no longer available They may still be found on the second hand market.
