I looked at the book and was going to use it as part of a core course in film history that's designed to provide a bridge between intro and the upper division courses. What I liked about the book is that it provides a good introduction to film theory in language and a format that 1st and 2nd year students could easily understand. I got an examination copy from Routledge pretty quickly.
