Hitchcock book in the news

By Eric San Juan April 30, 2009Uncategorized

The Asbury Park Press is carrying a short piece on the release of A Year with Hitchcock. Nifty. (2016 edit: the link is dead, so I removed it.) I'll be speaking at an area library in the near future. I'll post the details once it is scheduled. Check out the book at the Scarecrow Press website. (Edit: Ditto) That is all.

I can't tell you how happy I am with the production quality of this book. The folks at Scarecrow Press and their parent company, Rowman & Littlefield, did a spectacular job. This is top work by any measure. Thumbing through it and seeing my words presented so nicely ... well, I felt very proud. This whole project, which my co-author Jim and I…

On April 28, A Year of Hitchcock: 52 Weeks with the Master of Suspense, the book I co-authored with Jim McDevitt, comes out.

I also ordered a copy from Amazon - yes, I ordered a copy of my own book. Wouldn't you? I'd like to get my copy so I can stick it on the shelf and pretend it serves as some…
