I'm way overdue for another new book round-up. Better late than never! Get ready for a wave of new classic film books!

Are you new to my list? Here are the details. The books include biographies, memoirs, scholarly texts, coffee table books and more from a variety of publishers. Publication dates range from January to July 2021 and these are subject to change.
