Cinemas in India

Those who have an international interest in cinema buildings may like to know that a book has recently been published that includes some excellent photos of cinemas in Bombay:

“Bombay Art Deco Architecture: A Visual Journey: 1930-1953” by Navin Ramani and Laura Cerwinske ISBN 81-7436-447-1

This provides excellent supplementary material to that included on Bombay in:

“Bollywood Showplaces: Cinema Theatres In India”
by David Vinnels and Brent Skelly, published in 2002, but rarely mentioned in booklists that I have seen.

Both books are currently available from Amazon’s UK store
