HEREFORD writer James Clarke comes full circle this month, as his first book - The Pocket Essentials: Steven Spielberg - was published in its second edition format.

The book, which includes some new material and an amended introduction, looks at Spielberg's movies in thematic and stylistic terms, as well as giving some sense of the process that brought each film to the screen.

The edition caps a fast and furious run of titles by James since 2001.
