Paperback. Zustand: Good. This is a quaint collection of by-words, old sayings, phrases, and stories that are unique for the most part to a particular section of Tennessee. Most of the stories and by-words are from a bygone day, a time when children attended one-teacher schools, when there were very few automobiles; an era when it was a rarity to see an airplane fly across the sky, and upon being heard, children would race out of the schoolhouse to get a glimpse of it.The reader should be aware that there are words in this collection of sayings, such as splouzed (rhyme with blouse), scrouged (rhyme with gouged), and scrootch (rhyme with pooch) which were attempts by the author to capture correct phonetic sounds of the words, since many of these words might never have been written down.This collection of sayings, many of which have faded into non-usage, but all of which bring back fond memories, is written in honor of the author's father, Booz Garrett, 2/12/1896-7/16/1962, a decorated veteran of WI and truly a gentle man.…

Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Quarto. 106 mimeographed leaves printed rectos only. Brad-bound in blue wrappers with a Hollywood agent's printed name. Small corner of front wrap lacking, a little smudging on the wrappers, very good or better, internally fine. A fully realized and unpublished screwball comedy novel set around Broadway, presumably prepared for distribution in anticipation of being converted into a film script. Both Mayer and Garrett were successful screenwriters, and they collaborated on at least one other screenplay (*Underground*, 1941). Both of their careers spanned the silent and talkie eras, and both seemed to have a penchant for, but were not limited to, romances or screwball comedies. Mayer wrote original screenplays or adaptations for *To Be or Not to Be, Desire, So Red the Rose, A Royal Scandal, The Buccaneer, They Met in Bombay, Merrily We Go to Hell,* and many others. Garrett wrote original screenplays or adaptations for *Duel in the Sun, The Hurricane, Manhattan Melodrama, A Farewell to Arms, Night Flight, The Story of Temple Drake* and *Gone with the Wind* (albeit uncredited), and many others. Novels such as this were often written on spec and used as extended treatments: mimeographed and then circulated in Hollywood in order to interest a studio in buying the property, commissioning a screenplay, and producing a movie. In this case, we cannot connect it to any specific production, although it might have been changed or adapted. *OCLC* locates no copies, but the Edwin Justus Mayer papers at the New York Public Library hold a version of something with this title. An interesting "novel script.".…
