He is an incredible writer and takes you into them in a way that opens new understanding of why they are the way they are and how they got that way. The next best thing to going to the movies is to read what Bill Mesce has to say about them." Bill Persky, Five-time Emmy Award-winning writer and director The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Bill Cosby Special, Kate & Allie, and creator of That Girl.

Whether one knows the films he writes about well or just a bit, it's a joy to have Bill take you into his world of movies." Josh Sapan, CEO and President, AMC Networks "If you want the hidden story of the men and women who made Hollywood what it is today, the good the bad and the ugly, from an unconventional savant, then Bill Mesce's tour is the book for you." Jeff Bewkes, Chairman and CEO, Time Warner "Bill Mesce's Reel Change is a book that any filmgoer, film lover, or film historian should read.
