Ray Harryhausen - Master of the Majicks: The British Films, Volume 3 (Majicks, Volume 3)
Ray Harryhausen - Master of the Majicks The British Films Volume 3 - Majicks, Volume 3 Author:Mike Hankin Foreword by Caroline Munro (star of The Golden Voyage of Sinbad), and Preface by Guillermo del Toro (director of Hellboy), who writes, "There is no way to overstate the importance of these books. [Volume 3] is, simply, the most perfect book about Harryhausen ever made. This is the book that you dreamt of having as a child and the only gateway, I... more » guarantee you, to regain that long-gone thrill you had when you where eight years old and you cracked open the pages of the latest issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland. Perhaps more importantly, this book performs one truly magic trick- one that we don't experience often enough: it makes you want to go out, immediately, and rewatch every single one of the the chronicled films and, if at all possible, go and shoot a film yourself. In summation: It makes you fall in love with cinema all over again."
