[very nice copy, a touch of soiling to bottom edges of covers, bookseller's rubber-stamp on front endpaper; the jacket is lightly surface-worn, with a few tiny tears and minor dog-earing at top of spine, and is just a bit shorter than the book itself]. (B&W photographs) The usual "films of" formula: a brief biographical essay (accompanied by dozens of photos), followed by a film-by-film rundown of the actress's career, with credits, cast, synopsis, review excerpts and historical notes for each film; also covers her appearances in short films and on television. The acknowledgements include "sp... View More...
[minor wear to extremities, spine slightly turned; jacket a little edgeworn, tiny paper loss at a couple of corners, one-inch closed tear at top of front panel, small tear and associated creasing at top rear flap-fold]. First novel by this Canadian author, a psychological suspense novel (sort of) that's kicked off by the kidnapping of a two-year-old girl, who is almost immediately abandoned by her kidnapper following a car accident, and eventually deposited on the doorstep of the shack of a miner and his wife. The book isn't any kind of police-procedural or traditional hunt-for-the-missing-g... View More...
[very slight fading along edges of covers, no significant wear; jacket modestly edgeworn, tiny chip at bottom edge of front panel, some soiling to rear panel]. A poetic dramatization, by a San Francisco-based poet who was also (per the jacket blurb) "one of the most successful business women on the Pacific Coast," of the romance between King Edward VII and Mrs. Wallis Simpson (the future Duke and Duchess of Windsor), and the former's abdication of the throne of England. Ms. Zimmerman was an investment advisor who wrote a financial newspaper column and published a related newsletter, and spec... View More...
[a beautiful, as-new copy, with no discernible wear to either book or jacket]. (B&W photographs, color facsimiles) SIGNED and DATED by the author on the verso of the front endpaper. "With more than 500 images as vivid as the tale he tells, [the author] focuses on the promotion strategy that turned Southern California into the promised land, the fastest growing region in the Union in the early twentieth century. With colorful text and remarkable visuals, [he] recounts the longest, loudest and most persistent booster campaign in U.S. history." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be... View More...
(no dust jacket) [light external water-spotting (mostly to rear cover), short bends at bottom corners of first two pages] Gentle satire of the "Ex-" genre of confessional fiction that had a brief vogue in the late 1920s ("Ex-Wife" and "Ex-Mistress" being the prime examples), as a former baby looks back from the perspective of his 4th birthday, and tells all about "the memories, the joys, and the sorrows of my youth." Although no author's name appears on the book, it's attributed to novelist/screenwriter Aben Kandel (by the Library of Congress and others); the book's dedication reads "For Ste... View More...
[modest wear along the spine and a few tiny scuff marks on the front cover, otherwise a nice clean copy]. (B&W photographs) An exceptional issue of this exceptional film publication, which took a couple of years from its inception in 1962 to really find its footing, but by this time (under the still-fresh editorship of future screenwriter-director Curtis Hanson, who had just succeeded founding editor/publisher James Silke one issue prior to this one) had really begun to settle into its groove. I mean, really: if the mix of elements and contributors in this issue isn't indicative of how well ... View More...
[very nice clean copy, virtually newsstand-fresh with just a touch of wear along the spine]. (B&W photographs) Includes an original essay by Harlan Ellison, "Three Faces of Fear; a Theory of Film Horror from the Works of Val Lewton." Also -- an interview with Richard Attenborough; a joint interview with the then-married Rod Steiger and Claire Bloom; a profile, with photos, of actress Samantha Eggar (also on the cover); a short article on director Terence Young; short article about the numerous films then being made on location in Spain; reviews of THUNDERBALL (Terence Young), A PATCH OF BLUE (...

(price-clipped) [light wear to cloth at spine ends, a teensy nick in cloth at bottom edge of front cover, no other significant wear; the jacket is lightly edgeworn, tiny puncture-tear at front hinge, long vertical crease in front flap, rear panel somewhat rubbed with a couple of vertical creases]. (Bollingen Series XCVII : 2) Series (B&W photos, color and B&W facsimiles) "This unique record of Jung's long life, 1875 to 1961, and his accomplishments relies on an extraordinary collection of documents, photographs, artistic works, and unpublished letters and journal entries, linked together with ...

[a tight, clean copy with no discernible wear to either book or jacket, just a touch of tanning to the jacket spine]. (B&W photographs) Musical adaptation of the "Peanuts" comic strip, which ran for 1,597 performances in its original off-Broadway production, and has been re-staged and adapted for other media numerous times since, notably as a 1973 TV special and in a 1999 Broadway revival. The original production starred Gary Burghoff as Charlie Brown and Bob Balaban as Linus Van Pelt. View More...
(price-clipped) [some discoloration to front endpapers from laid-in newspaper clippings, minor soiling to bottom of text block, slight fading to cloth at top of spine; jacket shows some modest surface- and edgewear, a little dog-earing at base of spine, short closed tear at bottom of rear panel, one teensy-tiny nick at top right corner of front panel, spine a bit color-shifted]. SIGNED boldly by Trumbo (no inscription) on the half-title page. Twenty years' worth of letters from the most famous of the blacklisted Hollywood writers to his family, fellow writers, business associates, friends and... View More...
[modest wear along spine, very slight bend at top right corner]. (B&W photographs) A remarkably rich issue of this always-interesting periodical, which tried (with mixed success) to be both a serious (albeit artsy) "cinema journal" and an industry-hip-newsy-insider entertainment publication. (Many of its contributors -- notably editor Curtis Lee Hanson, who later dropped the "Lee" -- went on to successful filmmaking careers.) This issue kicks off with an editorial comment that proved to be prescient and certainly demonstrated the magazine's "insider" cred: the statement that BONNIE AND CLYD... View More...
