2.0 out of 5 stars Bring Me the Head of Whoever Edited This Thing, November 3, 2007
For the Peckinpah completionist only. It contains tons of extremely rare (and beautifully reproduced) production photos, but for what you get it's absurdly overpriced. Even that wouldn't be so irksome if the text didn't just parrot stories that have already appeared elsewhere. What made me feel truly ripped off, though, is the fact that it was edited by a drunk chimpanzee--I've never seen so many typos and grammatical errors in a professional publication of any kind, anywhere, ever. It's a train-wreck.

4.0 out of 5 stars fascinating but flawed, July 30, 2007
By R. L. Worley (Mesa, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book really is a must for fans of Peckinpah. It has a marvelous collection of rare behind-the-scenes photos that are the primary attraction, but the interviews are also very entertaining. I have to take one star away because reading this book is a chore. It has to be one of the most poorly written and edited books I have ever seen. Sentence structure is awkward and the punctuation atrocious. Apostrophes are used with wild abandon and almost always in the wrong place. The misspellings are enough to drive you to distraction. Whenever there are two words with the same sound and different spellings, the wrong one will be chosen with alarming regularity...."too" for "two", "reigns" for "reins, "throws" for "throes", "your" for "you're" and so on. It becomes an almost comical game to spot them.
The author is English and he has an annoying habit of occasionally inserting a British turn of phrase into what are supposedly direct quotes from some of the American interview subjects. Now I realize that is normal when it is David Warner or an English crewmember being quoted. But it is highly unlikely that Peckinpah ever said "Get your arse over here" or that R.G Armstong says "arseh*le" or an American talks about someone being "in hospital". This just makes the quotes seem inauthentic.
Fortunately, the interviews and subject matter are fascinating to make all this seems like nit picking. But next time...hire an editor!

4.0 out of 5 stars Peckinpah Behind The Scenes..., July 3, 2007
"Entered His House Justified: The Making of the Films of Sam Peckinpah" is a book that every Peckinpah fan has been waiting for. It is a great collection of behind-the-scenes photos from Sam's films, many of which have never before been seen before my most fans, accompanied by text which gives a brief overview of the making of each film. Author Jeff Slater has done a good job of getting quotes and stories from a lot of the cast and crew who worked with Sam, and these combined with all of the great candid shots, give the reader a good insight as to what it was to like to work with Peckinpah. Some of Peckinpah's lesser known gems like "The Killer Elite" don't recieve as much attention from Slater as some of his more well known films do, which is a small drawback, but overall this book is one not to miss for Sam Peckinpah fans or any filmaker interested in the career of one of Hollywood's greatest directors.
