Description

This anthology has been expanded and revised to include a fresh introductory overview by editor Tino Balio and ten new chapters - seen written specifically for this edition - that explore such topics as the growth of exhibition as big business, the mode of production for feature films, the star as market strategy, and the changing economies and structure of contemporary entertainment companies. Balio divides the subject into four eras: 1894-1908 describes how motion pictures developed from a novelty into a business enterprise; 1908-1930 chronicles the industry's development into an economic oligopoly; 1930-1948 covers the behaviour and organization of the industy at its peak; 1948 to the present analyzes the results of technological, legal, and social events on the contemporary economic history of American movies.

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.
