Books by Stuart Hanson

This book charts the development of the multiplex cinema as the pre-eminent form of film exhibition across the world.

The book is the first comprehensive survey charting the development of cinema exhibition and cinema-going in Britain from the first public film screening - the Lumiere Brothers' showing of their Cinematographe show at London's Regent Street Polytechnic in February 1896 - through to the development of the multiplex and megaplex cinema. -- .
