Richard Schickel (£25)

CLINT EASTWOOD'S tough guy persona has captivated audiences since his "Man With No Name" role in the "spaghetti western" A Fistfull of Dollars in 1964. His later movies, including acclaimed work as a director, have continued to be box office hits. This latest book, which includes an introduction by the five-time Oscar winner, is a definitive appraisal of his work and contains more than 300 photographs. Stunning to look through, it is a well-researched and exhaustive celebration of the Hollywood legend's life and work.
