I purchased this book when I visited Chicago and needless to say, I lucked out in finding it tucked away in its respected shelf.

First thing that made me want to get it was the fact that I worship Scorsese and his impeccable filmmaking abilities. The second and final factor that sealed the deal was that this book wasn't on my shelf.It was a missing link in my anthology of books on film and film history.

This book is as analytical and influential as a book on an admired director like Marty can ever be.It has every film he ever directed, including little bits of info and background on the Armani commercials and music video he's also directed.
The book starts with his very first film he made as a child, "Vesuvius" and ends with the much anticipated "Gangs of New York," due in theatres on Christmas Day. (I will be in the ticket line!)

In a nutshell, this book is fabulous! It should not, by any means, be left out of a film enthusiast's book shelf.
