Query: An essential book for silent fans

We all have a few books that we plan to read every few years for therest of our lives: this is one of mine. Brownlow's elegiac oralhistory of the days of silent film was done at the perfect time,when the battles were over but while there were still enough livingsurvivors to tell the tale. Brownlow captures the weird collisionof calculation and exuberance that defined early Hollywood. Onehistory of recent events in Hollywood paints a typical pictureof life in the executive suite as being "a bunch of tiny men indesigner jeans giving each other high fives." T'was not alwaysso.
