Page updates -- books

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I've just noticed that the section of this page talking about published books could do with updating -- but as I'm the subject of it this is beyond what I can do!

If anyone's interested, current information about the books Films from the Future and Future Rising can be found here: https://andrewmaynard.net/books/

Thanks!
