*Booklist*
Raw has achieved a breadth and depth to the work that would be the
envy of many other reference works sitting on the same shelf. As
mentioned, Raw suggested that writing this book was most enjoyable.
It is a pleasure to admit that reading and browsing the volume is
equally enjoyable. Scarecrow Press has done it again, keeping the
crows away from the fields of rich, succulent, detailed works of
reference. This is not an inexpensive addition to stock, but I
would argue an essential one for anyone wishing to add value to
their reference collection. The breadth of content elevates the
book beyond just another volume about Ridley Scott. As such, the
books in the 791.43s should, quite frankly, move over and make
room.
