Reviews
"Drew Casper's volume is a stunning achievement in American film history. Combining love for the films themselves and the creative talent behind them with a sharp attention to contexts - cultural, social, and industrial - Casper offers a comprehensive, sharply argued look at Hollywood cinema in a complex, even vexed, historical moment."
Dana Polan, New York University

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

My favourite pick for manga

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
