I received a signed copy of this book as part of a VIP The Princess Bride experience (I got to shake hands with Cary Elwes!). Sometimes such items are only valuable as a memento and not inherently, but not this time. This book is really good! Easy to read, entertaining, enlightening, and funny! Not only that, it has so much to share about filmmaking in general. It shares the perfect amount so as to be engrossing but not overwhelming. I enjoyed reading every page and highly recommend this book to anyone who loves The Princess Bride!
