Good photos and some interesting films. There's a brief introduction to 1910's but it's missing some important films.

Mmm, film studies and feminism!

Silent Films, 1877-1996: A Critical Guide to 646 Movies... - Robert K. Klepper
I think it's strange that Klepper has rated the films. I certainly don't agree with most of the ratings - in fact I think for Klepper they are a form of forcing his opinions.
Cleo's rating:

This book is OK but there are errors in some of the biographies, also some very important people are missing.

Lots of delightful and interesting photos.
Cleo's rating:

Buster Keaton: Interviews (Conversations with Filmmakers)... - Buster Keaton
Buster interviews.
Cleo's rating:

My Wonderful World Of Slapstick (Da Capo Paperback)... - Charles Samuels,Buster Keaton
Buster's childhood and his beginning in films are discussed with detail but everything else is left in a haze.
Cleo's rating:

In three parts with biography, filmography and a portrait gallery. Lots of photos.
Very interesting interview snippets with Minta but overall the information is really scattered.
This book also wins the award for the most hideous cover ever.
