About the author

'Taschen is an art book publisher founded in 1980 by Benedikt Taschen in Cologne, Germany. It began as Taschen Comics publishing Benedikt's extensive comic collection. Taschen has been a noteworthy force in making lesser-seen art available to mainstream bookstores, including some fetishistic imagery, queer art, historical erotica, pornography and adult magazines (including multiple books with Playboy magazine). Taschen has helped bring this art into broader public view, by publishing these potentially controversial volumes alongside its more mainstream books of comics reprints, art photography, painting, design, fashion, advertising history, film, and architecture.' - Wikipedia

A short review as there's not much to review. If you know Taschen's general attention to production detail, you know that the reproductions of film stills that appear within this book are very fine.

There's not much else to say. It's a book with a movie (or star) per day. It's too nice to write on in a diary fashion, and so it is a little bit of a confusing publication. But if you treat it as I did - a way to create a little cinematic break in which to appreciate films you know (and discover ones you don't) - then it's a fine tome.
