The Lahue book is called Collecting Classic Films but don't forget that Gerald put out 2 other books...

I remember Gerald McKee from the UK Film Making magazine he used to write the film reviews at one time.

Any chance of a couple of page scans? Would like to have a look to see what its like.

We discussed this same topic on this same page on December 26 (Book on Film Care). The other book by Gerald McKee is about home projectors,from the beginning up to 1940.He didn't manage to publish the second volume,although the book was almost finished, but Patrick Moyles,of FLICKERS has promised to do so some time in the near future. I'll post a scan of the book tomorrow.Also some scans of Gerald's "Film Making" pages.

Hi Guy's , i bought this over 30 years ago,i presume when it was first published . A lot of interesting little article's on each distributor of the time, with address details in the back cover !!! . A lot of b/w stills from the various films in all the formats . All in all an interesting little book , cost me £6.95 or $12.00 according to the outer sleeve . I've seen this come up on ebay so worth a search if your interested in purchasing it.
