the only reason I know of this is because I have a book on all Hammer films
disappointed it's not something I want
 
Kronos was worth it for what we got, but it had me worried that all releases would try to justify being that price. Price is actually very reasonable, and £5 less than I was expecting if the book is as thick as it appears.
