I have it on order too.

I wasn't expecting this to be published until November, but it has arrived and I'm about half finished with it already! Very well written and I'm enjoying it very much. It contains the most thorough profile of the author I've read with a great deal of insight.

I hadn´t heard about it before. Thanks. This is definately a must-buy.

His book is titled Dreamfilm and it includes discussion of the film, poems, and essays. It's very interesting and a loving tribute to the movie.

I've never heard of this book. Sounds very interesting.

Is it still available?

Where can it be bought?

Yep.

My copy just arrived too.  Glad you're liking it, Lee.

I've seen it at amazon and on ebay.  Best to search the author's name.

You mean Dreamfilm?  (what is  the author's name?)

Or the Mark Asquith book?

That would be fascinating, I'm sure. I'm always interested in someone's "back story."

So cool, I have not heard of this book until just now. I am a big fan of Postcards, it is a heartbreaking tale. Glad to see some commentary about both.
