Summary:	"Repair Manuals for a Femme Fatale is a boxed set where 1970s repair manuals collide with 1940s Femme Fatales. It is a compilation of information that may help women escape their cinematic fate in the hands of a film noir. From how to give the kiss of life, to maintaining Venetian blinds, the repairs enclosed are film-specific, inspired by events that occur or objects that may appear within each film. Repair manual for femme fatale features a prologue and three film noirs - Double Indemnity, Leave Her to Heaven and The Postman Always Rings Twice housed in a box."--WSW website, http://wsworkshop.org/bookstore_item.php?ID=3165, viewed on August 7, 2013.
