Trade Review
In the 1930s, Hammondsport, New York, was a small town of only 1200, complete with as much local color as similar communities across the United States. Well-known film critic Champlin recounts his first 16 years in Hammondsport in a delightful narrative of growing up during the Depression. . . . Full of humor and revealing confessions, Champlin's entertaining book proves you can go home again. One of the best reminiscences to appear recently.
