    I’d like to buy a copy of Hollywood in Hertfordshire. Who do I contact? phone or email?

      If you go to the Publications section and then ask to
      ‘Read More’ on the section for MGM British Studios,
      you will find a PayPal button at the bottom. That’s
      all you need!

      Thanks for your interest in MGM British Studios and
      your support for Elstree Screen Heritage.

        Your copy of ‘MGM British Studios’ is now packaged up
        and waiting for the next time I break out and risk
        a visit to the post office.

        That should be before the weekend!

    My mother who is now 98 and worked on the switchboard would love this book.

      And the 500th Copy of ‘MGM British Studios’ goes to…

      98 year-old Joan Smith, who received her copy as a birthday gift
      from her daughter Jackie Marks. As promised, we refunded the cost
      of this very special purchase.

      But it gets better! Joan Smith was a switchboard operator at MGM
      and one of the last people to leave. She was thrilled to receive
      the book and has been gradually reading through it, greatly enjoying
      the photos.

      It’s already sparked many memories; she has fond memories of
      Petula Clark, while Richard Burton was ‘very rude’ when she didn’t
      answer his call quickly enough. And yes, he did actually say to her
      ‘Don’t you know who you are talking to?’

      Have you ordered YOUR copy yet? We have about 20 in stock before
      we’ll need to reprint again.
