I need help from serious Asian fans...
I need info about Thomas Wessier. He's supposed to be THE man when it comes to books about Asian cult cinema, so I was wondering if anyone has read his stuff and knows if he's reliable. He has a spaghetti Western book out I want to buy but it's 50 bucks and I don't want to spend that kind of dough on someone I'm not familiar with. Can anyone help me out?

No. I found the book at Amazon.com after I saw it mentioned in The Pocket Essentials: Spaghatti Westerns.

For some reason I couldn't find him in an Amazon author search... anyway, I had read Wessier's Japanese Cinema: The Essential Handbook and his Asian Cult Cinema. Both were pretty informative to me - a relative novice. However, the Amazon user reviews of all of his books are full of people claiming inaccuracies .
Guess you might have to fill out the first user review of the Spaghetti Western book. Good luck.

Thanx for the info. I just ordered the damn spaghetti Western book so I hope it's worth 50 bucks (being a film geek can be expensive). I'll leave a review at Amazon after I flip through it. It's got 566 listings, so that should at least be helpful.
Again, thanx for the help.
