A book review by Mark R. Leeper Leonard Maltin's TV MOVIES has gotten *many* unsolicited testimonials. let me add mine. I live in a house full of books, but I reach for Maltin more often than any other book in the house. (My wife keeps an old edition in our car to settle film arguments on the road!) The new edition is over a thousand pages long, and lists about 16,000 films, giving year, length, a star rating, the director, the case, and a short description of the film, all for $4.95. There is a similar book by Steven Scheuer called MOVIES ON TV--same price, not as complete, and subjectively, the ratings don't seem as accurate. It is also an often-used source, but I look in Maltin first. Each book has a new edition every two years, Maltin coming out late in even-numbered years, Scheuer late in odd-numbered years. The new edition is available in bookstores now. It is worth the price. (Evelyn C. Leeper for) Mark R. Leeper ...ihnp4!lznv!mrl P.S. I hope this book review posting doesn't offend anyone. :-)
