Where do I buy Brownlow's book ?

There's an extremely expensive laserdisc that's rarer than gold (U.S./NTSC only) and the VHS. Both are obviously out of print. The R4 Australia and R2 Spain DVDs are PAL conversions from the NTSC master, so they suffer from artifacts (not to mention very heavily compressed on the R4).

I got my softcover book from eBay for $24 (brand new condition). Looks like it's in print in the UK by the BFI Press: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Napoleon-Kev...e=UTF8&s=books




Tell The Weinstein Company to release Richard Williams' animated masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler on DVD in Panavision widescreen and uncut! See and hear what you're missing from their Bitsy Award winner of Worst Standard Edition DVD of 2006 on YouTube!
