Biography: arts & entertainment
Paperback. Most Hollywood biographies are little more than 500-page musings on the 'when-I-met..' theme, filled with famous names, love affairs and cliches of a 'meteoric rise' or 'tragic fall'. Bruce Campbell's If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor is the boisterous antidote to such convention. Num Pages: 368 pages, over 200 b/w photos throughout. BIC Classification: APB; APF; BGFA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 215 x 138 x 29. Weight in Grams: 348.
