More excellence from Citadel's "Films of..." series

I'm a fan of Citadel's "Films of..." series, owning nearly 40 books, and also of Lawrence Quirk's work; he's one of the best film writers with a solid Hollywood pedigree (his father was editor of _The Hollywood Reporter_), having also written biographies of Bette Davis, Claudette Colbert and Jane Wyman and many others. _The Films of Lauren Bacall_ fits neatly into the Citadel series with a concise biography of Ms. Bacall and discussions of all her movies, both those in which she has starring roles and her bit-part appearances. For me, one of the attractions of the "Films Of..." series is the overflowing abundance of outstanding black & white photographs of the stars and their movies, and this book is top-notch in this regard. Highly recommended, especially as a companion piece to Bacall's own autobiography _By Myself_.
