Book on Kitano Takeshi

[Roger Macy]

It's definitely on the shelves.  At London, Southbank, I spotted it under 'K' at the RFH bookshop and under 'T' at the BFI bookshop (where members can get 20% discount).  Surely the marketing guys missed a trick by not getting 'Beat' on the spine and getting a third pile on the shelves?
Incidentally, the London film festival programme is up at the BFI site.
