The Film Snob's Dictionary: An Essential Lexicon of Filmological Knowledge

New York: Crown, 2006.

No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality.

A satirical reference guide that deciphers the esoteric language and preferences of self-proclaimed film aficionados. Organized alphabetically, it covers a wide range of topics, including directors, genres, and technical terms, offering both genuine insights and humorous commentary on cinephile culture.

The book strikes a balance between being informative and entertaining, respecting its subjects while playfully critiquing the pretensions of film snobbery. It even humorously acknowledges the reader's own potential for film snob tendencies. [From online reviews]
