[moderately shelfworn, but with strong age-toning and some dampstaining to edges of text block; jacket is heavily worn along all edges, paper loss at both ends of spine, various small tears, creasing, etc.; NOTE that I've left in place the original white-paper-lined jacket protector which the book came with, because it seems to be sort of holding the jacket together]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the half-title page: "To Dick Williams / My Compliments / Adolph Zukor." Historically specious but still entertaining memoir by the co-founder of Paramount Pictures. Signed by Au... View More...
(French wrappers) [nice clean copy, with just faint surface wear to covers]. (B&W and color photographs) Tribute book prepared in conjunction with the restoration and promotion of Fellini's entire ouevre, a project in which the director was participating at the time of his death in October 1993.

Includes two short articles, "The Unforgettable Young Man" by Joan Blondell, and "James Cagney: A Few Thoughts on the Next 2 Billion Years" by Ray Bradbury; plus numerous comments from Cagney's professional colleagues and friends.

[a small amount of wear along the spine, otherwise nice and fresh, just about as new]. (B&W photographs) Nicely-done program/tribute book, largely photographic, from Capra's Life Achievement Award dinner; includes filmography. It's interesting to note that the tribute book's editor (also the co-author of the tribute itself) was Joseph McBride, who some years later published a highly critical biography of Capra. NOTE that this would appear to be the "public" version of the program, with Capra pictured on the front cover, that was produced for sale and/or distribution to AFI members; th... View More...
[minor edgewear, faint vertical stain line on front cover, a trace of foxing along edge of rear cover,] (B&W photographs) Tribute book issued in conjunction with the AFI's Life Achievement Award presentation to Miss Gish, at that time only the second woman to have received the honor. (The first was Bette Davis, in 1977.) Includes filmography and brief excerpts from various books and articles about the actress, plus the unavoidable couple of pages of AFI self-puffery near the end. View More...
[covers rubbed/scuffed, interior immaculate]. (B&W photographs, ads) "Souvenir Edition" of the program/tribute book, issued on the occasion of the presentation to Lemmon of the AFI's annual Life Achievement Award.

[very nice copy, just the slight bit of abrasion here and there to edges of text block; minor wrinkling to jacket along top edge]. "Published for the first time in English, [these letters] provide an invaluable insight into the literary and psychological development of a major writer who was also an innovative and influential film-maker." Includes are long extracts from his early diaries and some of his first poems. View More...
[nice clean copy, lightly bumped at base of spine, short diagonal crease at bottom corner of front cover]. (B&W photographs) "Souvenir Edition" of the program/tribute book, issued on the occasion of the presentation to Peck of the AFI's Life Achievement Award, given annually to an individual "whose talent has in a fundamental way advanced the film art; whose accomplishment has been acknowledged by scholars, critics, professional peers and the general public; and whose work has stood the test of time."

(B&W photographs) Program/tribute book, largely photographic, but also including brief tributes to the director (all apparently originally written for this publication) by Nicholas Pileggi, Barbara Hershey, Joe Pesci, Thelma Schoonmaker, and Akira Kurosawa. Includes filmography, through KUNDUN (1997). Also a four-page section of "American Film Institute Annual Highlights, 1967 through 1996," the perusal of which leaves one with a vivid impression just how little of substance this organization managed to achieve in its first ...
