Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books The Egos Have Landed: Rise and Fall of Palace Pictures
This is a sweeping overview/memoir of Palace Pictures, the upstart English production house that shook things up in the 80s and early 90s, taking in the story of its co-chairmen Nik Powell and Stephen Woolley at the same time. Well written, with interviews from just about everyone involved in the Palace story, this runs at a good pace and has a nice mixture of showbusiness nitty gritty (Powell seems to have spent all his time chasing money) and gossip, whilst also painting a vivid picture of a changing film industry. Although it’s nicely detailed, it does appear to completely ignore some Palace films (some get a name-check but that’s all) but that aside, this is a good read and makes you wish that Palace had stayed around for a while longer (especially when you look at the list of their film credits). Highly recommended.Point Books Toward The Egos Have Landed: Rise and Fall of Palace Pictures

An interesting overview of Palace Pictures. But, compared to the wonderful "My Indecision is Final" by Terry Illiot and Jake Eberts it's rather sketchy and not especially detailed.
