Description:
Culver City; New York, etc.: M.G.M. Studios; Goodson-Todman Productions; NBC, Inc, January - July 1963.. Quarto and octavo. Original typescript and mimeo typescript. Some creasing, ink spill affecting a few leaves at conclusion of one item, otherwise very good. A small group of items attending the genesis of the award-winning anthology show, THE RICHARD BOONE SHOW (1963-64 - 25 episodes). The present material records the early involvement of playwright Clifford Odets, who is denoted "Editor in Chief" of the series. Unfortunately, Odets died of pneumonia on 14 August 1963, and the later script element of the show was overseen by others. Present here are: a) a substantial one-page t.l.s., New York, 25 January 1963, from Marcy Tinkle of NBC, to Odets, talking through points raised in an earlier phone conversation, wrestling with a general theme of the show, forwarding NBC's first "bulletin" on the show, and referring to Odets' role as editor, and occasionally author, of episodes in the series; b) a…

Description:
London: Printed and Sold by J. Peele, at Locke's Head..., 1728.. 72pp. Octavo (signed in 4s). Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume, lower edges partially untrimmed. Some modest foxing early and late, extremely faint tidemark to lower portion of a number of leaves, but otherwise a very good copy. The rare first edition of this response to Bishop Gibson's pastoral letter - one of two attributed to Tindal - in which the noted freethinking Deist takes to task the Bishop's implicit elevation of faith above reason, and defends in general freedom of thought and discourse against subjugation to religious authority. In an interesting side note to Tindal's response to Gibson's assertion "That in some late Writings publick Stews have been openly vindicated...," he makes reference to the celebrated pseudonymously published 1724 pamphlet by Mandeville, A MODEST DEFENCE OF PUBLICK STEWS .... This 1728 printing is rare: ESTC locates only seven copies, of which four are in North America (BYU, UCLA, Huntington and…

[Amsterdam: Da Costa Editions, October 1982].. Nine panel leporello, bound into. quarto (33 x 25 cm) cloth and boards portfolio with pictorial onlay and ribbon ties. Near fine. First edition. Copy #1 of twenty numbered copies, signed by the artist. Apart from the justification statement, a dark, functionally textless artist's book, featuring ghostly serigraphed images rendered doubly obscure by their appearance in the context of a long cascade of thin rectangular shapes blurred to the extent that they present a repetitive pattern almost like the appearance of laid bricks, all in somber blacks and grays. In an interview, the artist asserted that this work was a product of his mindset after his divorce.

One inch closed tear at lower edge of upper wrapper, filing number stamp on upper wrapper, short tear at spine, otherwise very good or better. A combined continuity and dialogue script for the 1939 film adaptation of William Gillette's play, directed by Alfred Werker, and starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, produced by Darryl F. Zanuck. Although well over one hundred and fifty adaptations of Sherlock Holmes to the screen are known, beginning with SHERLOCK HOLMES BAFFLED (1903), the Rathbone-Bruce portrayals have become almost canonical, beginning with THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (March 1939), and concluding with the twelfth in sequence, DRESSED TO KILL (1946). The film ran eight reels, for a total of 7345 feet. Original scripts for any of them, even continuity scripts, are uncommon. DE WAAL 5147.

New York: Florin Corporation, 17 September [- 25 November] 1968.. [1],114 leaves (modified by lettered and revised inserts). Quarto. Mimeographed typescript, printed on rectos only of plain, blue, yellow, and salmon colored stocks. Bolt bound in mimeographed stiff wrapper. Wrapper somewhat creased, edgeworn and smudged, annotations through out in pencil and ink, some occasional minor stains and frays, but a very good and important copy utilized in the production (see below). Denoted a "shooting script," but incorporating revisions spanning two months on colored and dated revises and inserts. This significantly used copy bears the ownership signature(s) and occasionally heavy annotations, music cues and highlighting of Fred Hellerman, music director for the production. Hellerman (1927 - 2016) was, with Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, and Ronnie Gilbert, an original member of the seminal American folk group, the Weavers. He produced the 1967 album by Arlo Guthrie that served as the sourcework for this film,…
