Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

(quarter-bound, paper over boards; no dust jacket, as issued, but now protected with a custom-fitted clear mylar jacket) [binding solid, hinges intact, internally clean; covers are edgeworn, moderately scraped and soiled; spine lettering faded to unreadability]. (B&W photographs, ads, graphics) Comprehensive compendium of everything, and I mean everything, to do with the movie biz: people, companies, theaters, organizations, regulations, statistics galore, texts of industry contracts, legal decisions, technical advancements, equipment suppliers, film releases 1929-31, etc. etc. The biographical sections alone are amazingly comprehensive, with resumes (including vital statistics) for the following groups: Production and Studio Executives (Uncle Carl Laemmle was 5 ft. 2 in. tall and weighed 140 lbs., didja know?); Feminine Players; Male Players; Directors; Writers; Cameramen, Art Directors, Etc.; Home Office Executives; Advertising and Publicity; Fan and Trade Press; Motion Picture Editors (at newspapers and magazines, not film editors); Music and Talent (an incredible section, with bios of organists, m.c.'s, musical conductors, comedians, singers, etc.); Song Writers; and Music Publishers. There's also an amazing list (no biographical details, just names) of "Presentation Acts," arranged both alphabetically and by classification: aerialists, contortionists, impersonators, roller skaters, whistlers, and so much more! (If nothing else, these lists are a reminder of just how many entertainers of all stripes, outside the immediate sphere of Hollywood itself, were employed in the exhibition end of the motion picture business.) All M.P. Almanacs from these early years (this title began publication in 1929) are remarkably scarce.…

Shopbeschreibung

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.…
