Description:
Indianapolis/New York: The Bobbs-Merrill Company. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1978). First Edition. Hardcover. 0491022069 . [light wear to book at spine extremities and a couple of corners; jacket shows some wear along right edge of front panel, moderate dog-earing at both ends of spine (see NOTE about the dust jacket)]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep: "To Bill -- / So go ahead, make / movies about the Algonquin! / Your friend, / Sam Marx." The long-time MGM story editor's biography of his aunt, "the moving, frequently funny, always fast-paced" biography of his aunt, Blanche Auzello, "who with her husband Claude ran the famous Ritz Hotel in Paris during the halcyon twenties and thirties and into the cruel forties of the German Occupation." (The "Bill" to whom this copy is inscribed was film producer William Allyn (1927-1999); the inscription is probably an allusion to some unrealized project of his, since there's nothing… Read More

Description:
New York: Stein and Day. Near Fine in Fine dj. 1985. First Edition. Hardcover. [nice clean copy, very light shelfwear to bottom of book, no other significant wear; the jacket is in perfect condition, appears to have been protected by a mylar cover for its entire life (now replaced with a new one)]. (B&W photographs) Biography of the Norwegian figure-skating champion whose success as an American film star is one of those strange phenomena that inspire a kind of after-the-fact head-shaking. On-screen she was "a blonde bundle of energy" who skated through whatever improbable plot the 20th Century-Fox writers could dream up for her; off-screen was a different matter altogether, according to this book, co-authored by her brother. "Only those closest to her saw the Sonja possessed by an insatiable passion for money, diamonds, furs, and men. Lawsuits and hysterical attacks against her familiy were brought on by alcoholic binges; friends and business associates were spied… Read More

Description:
New York: William Morrow and Company. Fine in Near Fine dj. First Edition. Hardcover. 0688087655 . [book is tight and clean, with no discernible wear; jacket is also very nice, with just a tiny wrinkle along the left side of the bottom edge of the front panel (effectively concealed by the new mylar jacket cover)]. "Joe Frank has been called 'the apostle of radio noir.' In this first collection of stories, he takes us on an obsesive, violent, and sexual odyssey in which individual lives become emblematic of a larger spiritual crisis. He also captures on paper the same eerie speculation and humor he delivers in his late-night monologues on National Public Radio." This was Frank's only book; he died in 2018, but his radio programs continue to be aired on many NPR stations. .

Description:
New York/London: D. Appleton-Century Company. Good. 1935. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [uneven fading to cloth on both front and rear covers, light dust-soiling to top of text block, original jacket flaps affixed to front and rear pastedowns, vintage bookseller's rubber-stamp (Bertrand Smith Acres of Books, Long Beach, California) on front pastedown]. A Graustarkian burlesque of European politics, "a lively and hilarious potpourri of wit, satire, and sophistication -- a tale of Kings and Queens and Princes, of modern dictators and munitions salesmen, of panetela cigars and tenor-tubas, of love-making that is unconventional, of political intrigues and fantastic wars. Yet behind the mad, carefree humor of Mr. George's amazing novel, and behind the laughable posturings of his characters, there is a sly, satanic innuendo -- cruel at times -- upon the petty bickerings of modern Europe, the pomposities of its potentates, the inhumanities of its wars."

Description:
Chicago: The White House. Good in Good dj. (c.1928). Reprint. Hardcover. NOISBN . [solid copy, one-time owner's pencil signature on ffep; the book is only lightly shelfworn, but some insect (or something) has nibbled away about a two-inch strip at the bottom fore-edge of the rear cover; the jacket is similarly nibbled in the same area (the rear foldover) and additionally has a few small edge-tears, although it's still attractive -- and if you leave the now-protect jacket in place you'll hardly notice the damage to either it or the book]. Novel about the three Skeffington sisters, native New Yorkers, "from the gas lighted nineties to the liquor-lit present." The book presents the successive "comings-out" of the three girls (back when that connoted a society event, not a sexual revelation), placed against the dual backdrops of a changing city -- specifically their once-genteel midtown Manhattan neighborhood (between 46th Street and Central Park) -- and the… Read More

"In this fascinating critical biography, [the author] examines Reich's life and ideas against the background of the shifting cultural and political currents of the twentieth century. Drawing from years of extensive research -- including interviews with those who knew Reich -- Wilson provides a revealing portrait of the genius and flaws of a man now regarded by many as a martyred mystic." .

Description:
New York: Cosmopolitan Book Corporation. Near Fine in Good dj. 1928. First American Edition. Hardcover. [book is tight and clean, with minimal shelfwear only, vintage bookseller's label/price sticker (Newbegins, San Francisco) on rear pastedown; jacket edgeworn and rubbed, with about a half-inch-deep chip at top of spine]. "'Genius does not go begging,' remarked Quex, that redoubtable leader of English finance. 'It goes taking.' This is the story of how the one and only Artemas Quex went taking -- first the genteel family business of Boscombe Brothers, Silk Merchants; then drug-stores run by moth-eaten, rheumatic proprietors; juicy war-office contracts; and at last -- crowning stroke of genius! -- the cattle and gold of the jealously guarded territory of Bubuland." (It's a satire, in case you haven't guessed.) The New York Times reviewer described the book's protagonist as "one of those eyeless beings who are all force and no direction,… Read More

[light shelfwear to book along bottom edge; the jacket shows a bit of wear along top and bottom edges, short closed tear at top of front panel, short but somewhat ragged closed tear and associated minor creasing at bottom of front panel]. (B&W photographs) This copy has been INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the front endpapers by editor Delmar Watson, and additonally SIGNED (some with short inscriptions) by seven other individuals, including four of Delmar's five brothers -- Coy Watson Jr., Harry R. Watson, Garry Watson, and Bobs Watson -- and his three sisters, Vivian, Gloria, and Louise, the latter of which has added a brief note and another inscription on page 39, on a photo of herself as a small child. A mostly-photographic chronicle of the Watson family's photographic enterprise, focusing (pun intended) primarily on news events rather than Hollywood-centric subjects.

[slight fading at top of boards; jacket rubbed/soiled, spine a bit sun-faded, wrinkled & dog-eared at top of spine]. "The subject is Quill: lunatic, hypochondriac, kept man, rapist, murderer, and the author of several scholarly works including a text on the pathology of an undiscovered snow creature and the extensive history of moon warfare entitled 'Past Particles.' Or, he is perhaps sane, ravaged by disease, passionate, an innocent victim, a genius of prescience." [And, I might add, the subject of a fabulous jacket illustration!

Description:
London: BFI Publishing. Near Fine. 2007. 1st Edition (softcover issue). Softcover. [nice clean copy, light external handling wear, one diagonally-creased upper page corner]. Trade PB (B&W photographs, facsimiles, tables) A history of the low-budget second features produced in England during the 1930s, which have traditionally been viewed as "the films that American distributors used to bring British cinema into disrepute and ruin its prospects of international expansion," a reputation that this book seeks to correct. The book "interrogates the conditions of their production, the politics of the attempts to censor and suppress them, and, by examining detailed evidence from one provincial city, supplies insights into their distribution and exhibition. The quickies emerge from this examination as a significant source of cultural representations, a vital training ground for actors and film-makers, and, occasionally, as innovative and even radical pictures in their own… Read More
