Has a good box office breakdown of Irish films.

Keeping it real
Has a chapter on the famous but rare Irish film, The Purple taxi

Power in the eye
Has a good chapter on why Irish films fail!

Good all-rounder.

Cinema and Ireland
Original and one of the best.

Companion to British and Irish cinema
A-Z guide of who's who?

Screening Ireland
Good chapter on our best era - 1988 to '93.

Cinema and Northern Ireland
While most Irish film books ignore film made over the border this book certainly does not!

Directors in British and Irish Cinema
So comprehensive even Shimmy Marcus gets a mention!

Irish filmography
IMDB in hardback!
