"Behind the Seen"

[nullphonic]

Has anyone read this book?

"Francis Ford Coppola said of Behind the Seen, "[It's] The first book of its kind ever and sure to remain the best..." David Thomson said it was "...To be read by anyone who has ever thought it might be fun to make a movie." The story of how Walter Murch edited Cold mountain using Apple's Final Cut Pro and what this means for Cinema."

Just curious of anyones impressions of it if so.

EDIT: I wasn't sure where to post this, sorry if this is a bad spot for this, maybe the Cafe would have been better.

Is it new? Haven't read it yet, but I recommend Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing by Michael Ondaatje. It's a great read and it covers Murch's work on the English Patient as well as some of the theories from his book In the Blink of an Eye.
