Hammer Glamour (2009) by film historian Marcus Hearn is an illustrated history of the actresses who appeared in the horror and fantasy films of Britain's Hammer studio from the 1950s to the 1970s. The book profiles dozens of performers, including Ingrid Pitt, Raquel Welch and Martine Beswick, with notes on their careers and films. It draws on Hammer's own archives for rare photographs, publicity material and behind-the-scenes images.
