Hey Dayton, I have two British Film Institute little books (<100 pages each), one on Blade Runner by Scott Baukatman and one on Terminator by Sean French. I'm always happy to find good homes for books I don't have room for anymore. Would you like me to pop them in the mail to you? If so, just PM me your snail mail address.

Whoops, that's Scott Bukatman.

I've read (translation: I skimmed it at the library) the one on Blade Runner, but I've not see the Terminator one.

I'll PM you. Thanks! :)

i like those kind of books too.
