I was just going to start a topic about the book and get into a similar thing as to what you just posted about, Joeytrom, so that's why I've split your post from the new film's topic and it now starts this new topic.
Anyway, I've only read two chapters of the book so far and I found them interesting for vastly different reasons.
The chapter entitled "Cinematic Collinwood" is basically the same chapter as the Movie Book's "Collinwood At the Cinema," however, it's not entirely the same because some things have been edited out while other things have been added - and in some cases entirely new paragraphs of info have been added. It would be interesting to know if it's the same piece that Darren originally submitted for the Movie Book, but this time around it's simply been edited differently, or if Darren added more to it. I suspect the former over the latter. But in either case, it's very nice to have both versions to present an even more accurate picture of what transpired with both original movies.
And the only thing I have to say publicly about the "Hidden In the Shadows" chapter is that it should come across as a major marvel of discretion to anyone who closely followed some of the projects it discusses and, therefore, got different sides of the stories from several of the parties involved. But then, I would expect nothing less from a KLS book or a chapter written by Jim Pierson.
And now that Joeytrom has mentioned that other parts of the book are also recycled from other PomPress sources, it's going to be really interesting to see how much of the text of the book is recycled and how much is new. But then, I never really bought the book for the text - much more so for the new photos - and when it comes to them, I'm quite satisfied.
