The Art of Ray Harryhausen
Ray Harryhausen and Tony Dalton, foreword Peter Jackson. Aurum Press, 2005. In 'An Animated Life' Ray Harryhausen told the story of his career as the acknowledged grandmaster of special effects in the pre-computer era, the creator of classics such as 'One Million Years BC', 'Jason and the Argonauts' and 'Clash of the Titans'. This companion volume focusses on the vast hoard of artwork that Harryhausen has carefully preserved in his London home, much of which is published here for the first time. Reproduced to the highest standards, it includes preliminary sketches, elaborate drawings of key scenes and carefully plotted storyboards, all produced as he sought backing for his next venture and undertook the laborious task of animating the prehistoric creatures, aliens and mythical monsters which stole scene after scene from the human actors. Also depicted here are the tiny, elaborately articulated models used to play these roles and the bronzes which Harryhausen cast to preserve their forms in perpetuity. 230 pages.

Beasts In The Cellar: The Exploitation Film Career of Tony Tenser
John Hamilton. FAB Press, 2005. A fascinating insight into the film career of producer Tony Tenser. Unusually for FAB Press this book highlights the work of a film producer rather than a director. While this means that there isn't the stylistic focus of director over view you get instead a broad sweep of British film making in the '60s and '70s.

Includes commentary on the legendary British nudist film, 'Naked – As Nature Intended' plus all time classics such as Roman Polanski's Repulsion and the horror masterpiece Witchfinder General. Actors as diverse as Christopher Lee, Vincent Price, Spike Milligan and Norman Wisdom are all featured.

Author John Hamilton was able to draw on exclusive interviews, original production files and private correspondence to make this definitive study of Britain's most notable exploitation filmmaker. 304 pages. Soft Cover Part Colour 8" x 11" (20cm x 28cm) ISBN: 1903254272

Benny Hill Merry Master Of Mirth The Complete Companion
Robert Ross. Batsford, 1999. Benny Hill is the best-known and best-loved British comedian on world television, from the USA to the Pacific Rim. Feted for his unique brand of coy awareness, innuendo and saucy songs - but seemingly out of favour in his homeland before his death - Benny Hill can now be rated as having had one of the foremost careers in comedy. Robert Ross tracks Hill's career through the landmark independent Television specials, early parody sketches for the BBC, film appearances, radio shows and recordings, including the No. 1 hit 'Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West'. Ross examines Hill's skilful use of the fledgling TV medium, and celebrates the support of his regular back-up team (Bob Todd, Henry McGee and Nicholas Parsons). The truth is revealed about Hill's Angels and the alternative comedy backlash that saw Hill pushed off the small screen in the UK. Benny Hill is the ultimate guide to the most widely recognised funny man since Charlie Chaplin. 175 pages. Soft Cover Black & White 7" x 9½" (18cm x 25cm) (ISBN: 0713484225)
