These movie palaces could seat as many as 4,000 people and often featured fantasy interiors, such as Egyptian temples and Gothic cathedrals. Beautifully illustrated（配有插图的），the book provides a detailed architectural history of the cinema, but also evokes the magic of movie-going. $80. Hardback 1996.
