Flesh and Fantasy

Fans of Kenneth Anger's "Hollywood Babylon" books will almost certainly enjoy "Flesh and Fantasy." The style, however, is much less sensationalistic. The topic is old Hollywood but the focus is less on gossip and scandals and more so on backstage or behind-the-scenes info. Loads of photographs (though all in black and white) and with attractive and interesting layouts. A lovely coffee-table book for film buffs. ( )
