If you're a fan of Buster Keaton (and if you're not, why not) or early film history, this book is such a treat

Dana Stevens's Camera Man, which explores the life of the great Buster Keaton, but also takes in the media & social changes happening in his lifetime, a must-read for fans

I somehow missed this hardback release last year, paperback slated for spring release : Dana Stevens's Camera Man, about one of my household gods, Buster Keaton, and his importance in the evolution of early film.

Added to my tottering TBR pile (thanks to our Simon & Schuster rep, Nicola), will look forward to this, and doubtless review for @PhilEdwards 's Live For Films in due course.
