Book review - "The Hammer Vault" by Marcus Hearn
Another typically excellent Hammer book from Hearn, with plenty of glossy photos and pictures, including of old call sheets, etc. This one gives key prominence to non horror films such as Yesterday's Enemy which is a nice change and I think puts things in more perspective - although it doesn't really deal heavily with the very early Hammers, which I understand. Most of the information will be familiar to the regular fan (including Hearn's opinions e.g. bagging The Terror of the Tongs) but this is still worth buying if you're into Hammer. Oh, it is quite large and hefty.
