This follow up volume to author Wayne Kinsey's HAMMER FILMS: THE BRAY STUDIO YEARS is ever better than its predecessor. An affectionate and informative history of the great British horror film studio, the book is filled with a myriad of new facts and photos. I can't recommend it highly enough. I have just about every book written on Hammer is this is certainly one of the best.

What a great book! Not only does it list all the movies produced during the Elstree years with all casts and crews, but it gives seldom-seen pictures, narratives, and personal glimpses for each film. This is a book for the serious fan.

Wayne Kinsey's books on Hammer Films (The Bray Studios Years and The Elstree Studios Years) together form the essential reference on the short-lived British studio that brought us the greatest horror films of the 60's and 70's. The books are well-researched and packed with behind-the-scenes stories and photos. If you love Hammer, you need to own these books.

I was under the impression that the first volume, Hammer Films: The Bray Studios Years, was out of print, because I had tried ordering it from several online dealers that were unable to get the title. However, Amazon's sellers just delivered a new copy to my doorstep recently. Snatch up these books while you can!

Got my product in a timely fashion, but the way the book was packaged for mailing caused some minor damage to the cover. I was disappointed by this. One expects a new book to arrive in mint condition. - JB
