New York: T. J. Maloney, Inc, 1937. First Edition. Coil bound in slip case. Very Good/Slipcase: Good. Will Connell (photography). Folio. Pp. 104. Illustrated with full-page black & white fine gravure photo reproductions recto, text verso, on Collins special gravure stock. Stiff printed wraps with titles in black, wire coil bound.

In the chipboard slipcase covered in red cloth with b&w photo reproduction and superimposed die-cut round title cartouche printed in reversed red mounted to the front: spine head chipped, short closed tears to the open end, chips and scuffs to the mounted illustration.

The four eminent screenwriters' story "Hollywood Conference" runs independently, verso, in large Bodoni type with generous margins. Each slipcase was illustrated with an image from the volume, in this case "Cartoon.
