    A translation of Pushkin’s verse novel by Vladimir Nabokov, this item was exactly as described in the listing. The packaging was well done for shipment, and the book was delivered faster than expected. The introduction where Nabokov discussed the various difficulties in translating verse alone was worth the price of the book- a modest price for such a fascinating novel. buy of a fascinating novel

    Book came earlier than expected was in very good condition and the seller was very easy to communicate with overall a really good experience. The book was as described. It was heavily packaged and safely contained in bubble wrap, a protective bag, and a plastic wrap and it’s 100% worth what I spent for it

    A book report...

    For even movie goers who have a passing interest in Hitchcock, this book is great coverage of his long and everlasting career. There is nobody like Hitchcock and this is a rare glimpse inside the genius mind as only Truffaut would tap.

    Awesome book for film fans and students

    If you are a film fan, you love movies, or you are studying films, this book is a must. Very thorough and long interview between Truffaut and Hitchcock. This book is not a guide on how to make a film, but it's more a historic set of anecdotes of Hitchcock's career.

    Hitchcock speaks

    This book, long out of print, is a wonderful insight into Hitchcock view of filmmaking….with another brilliant, albeit less prolific director….the book is slightly worn, but well worth a small investment for cinephiles….
