Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

[good solid copy with a little wear to the spine ends, a couple of tiny scrape marks on the front cover; title, date and one-time owner's name stamped in gold on front cover]. (B&W photographs, advertisements) A bound volume containing all 1944 issues of this monthly promotional publication from Capitol Records, bringing "News from Hollywood" to its readers. It's essentially a small-format trade paper (not unlike The Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety, both of which were published within walking distance of the Capitol headquarters at 1483 N. Vine Street), presenting news items about concert gigs, music-related film production and castings, talent signings , and just general publicity of all kinds -- exclusively about Capitol recording artists, naturally. And what a lineup! The comings and goings and doings of Stan Kenton, Paul Whiteman, Artie Shaw, Betty Hutton, Harry James, Benny Goodman, Johnny Mercer, Frances Langford, Peggy Lee, and many others are covered throughout -- and because the publication was also paying a lot of attention to the jazz scene (in Los Angeles and elsewhere), there are a significant number of African-American musicians depicted in the photographs that are scattered throughout. Most issues are 16 pages in length, with occasional slight deviations. (It should be noted that even though this was a monthly publication, there are actually 13 issues in the volume, the "extra" being dated July 24, 1944 (Vol. 2, No. 8-B) and apparently keyed to the National Association of Music Merchants convention then in session in Chicago.) This trim little volume is gold-stamped with the name Bernis Sullivan on the front cover; I'm afraid I've been unable to determine who that was. Exceedingly scarce; the publication was renamed The Capitol News in 1946, and while five U.S. libraries have at least some holdings under that title, apparently only one (Rutgers University) holds any issues prior to that date.

Shop-Beschreibung

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.
