Summary: An overview of all of silent film
Comment: This book is filled with beautiful pictures of many silent films, and it covers the entire silent film era. Still, I can only give it a lukewarm recommendation. The problem is that it attempts to cover everything that happened from the beginning of film until 1929. If you are already familiar with silent films, there will only be a few pages of information in this book that will be new to you. The rest will feel like an overview. If you are new to silent films, this book covers so much that it does not go into much detail on any topic. This may not be enough to get a person just becoming interested in silent films to learn more about the subject. And although the book tries to cover everything, Japanses silent films are barely mentioned. Other film industries like India's are not mentioned at all. To the author's credit, he did do his research and I did not notice any factual errors. If you are a silent film fan, you might be interested in this book, but there are others out there that are far more interesting.
