I felt a touch misled by the subtitle of this book - it refers to 'the film factory'.

Admittedly, Hollywood gets plenty of mentions, but the movie studios' use of materials from these companies is totally dwarfed by their wider use.At the heart of the book is the chemistry necessary to make film - firs...| Popular Science Books
