BOOKS: MUST-READ FOR FILM BUFFS AND FILM MAKERS!

Ron Austin is a Hollywood saint. He's been around Hollywood for a long time, past president of the WGA if I'm not mistaken. He taught us at Act One. He was the most profound, gentle, charitable, spiritual teacher! Ironically, he is now almost blind and wears these yellow-tinted lens' that just make him look all the more the special person that he is. He volunteers at maximum security prisons.
Accentuated with black and white stills, this long-awaited, succint little gem of a book (only 105 pages), is a spiritual history of world cinema. (What a concept!) Couldn't find it on Amazon, but it's available from Pauline Books and Media www.pauline.org for locations, or the publisher. $12.00 http://www.eerdmans.com/shop/product.asp?p_key=9780802807731 
Be good to your film-loving soul! Get this book!
