Littleton was interviewed in O’Steen’s book, "The Invisible Cut: How Editors Make Movie Magic" and will talk about her work on "Body Heat," including a unique analysis of her process through the use of frame grabs.

"The Invisible Cut: How Editors Make Movie Magic" (Michael Wiese, 2009) is the newest book from writer Bobbie O’Steen, and her second about film editing, in which she gets inside the editor’s head and shows how the mysterious art of editing is actually done. The author uses the "out" and "in" frames of the actual cuts from classic scenes from landmark movies like "The Graduate," "Chinatown," "Rear Window," "French Connection" and "Body Heat" as well as in-depth interviews to explain how the editor manipulates and seduces the audience to create the invisible cut.
