IITM Open Quiz, New Book, ...

Well, this time too, my team didn't qualify, but the experience was great.
Nice quiz. Loads of prizes and meeting with so many quizzing buddies from Bangalore and a couple of audience prizes which resulted in the addition of a real treasure to our collection - Movie Game Book: A Serious Pursuit of Film Trivia

I don't usually link to Amazon, but this one movie buffs must check out. The book has amazing production value. It has several innovations. It has a page with a flap with slots with alternate slots blocked. The open slots reveal actresses and the covered spots hold the respective Bond actors who the actresses figured with and the likes. Another sets has muses and the directors. Similarly one set has strips with quotes and lifting the strip reveals the person who uttered it. There are the obvious pitfalls of translation from French, but the book more than makes up for such irritants. A cinema-buff's delight. All thanks due to a sale at Landmark, made possible in part due to a coupon earned as an audience prize at the IITM quiz :)
