I have seen this series mentioned before but often thought they would be quite redundant with the relative ease of information on DVD releases available on the web, not to mention how quickly some DVD releases seem to go out-of-print.
What sort of films does it cover and how much info is there?
Well that obviously depends on what you expect. The reviews are unifomly very good, plus the various DVD/BD editions are reviewed and compared. Naturally, the texts aren't that long, but that just goes with this type of reference book.
I've got all four volumes, and I love to just browse through them. there's loads of interesting stuff I hadn't heard of before, along with the usual classics.
And since you've asked - here's a complete list of the films reviewed in Volume 4, taken from their HP:
