Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. [very light handling wear, slight curling of covers]. Trade PB Rather a curious "book" that's not entirely worthy of its subtitle, given that the account of the meeting that took place (late in the lives of both men) takes up nine of the book's 112 numbered pages. It's prefaced by some introductory matter about Renoir and Miller, derived from the co-authors' respective long friendships with them, and explaining how the book (and the meeting) came about -- but the "Miller meets Renoir" part of the book is over before the reader gets to the halfway point. The remainder of the slim volume is taken up with excerpts from both ladies' previously-published works: the Prologue from Nash's novel "By Love Fulfilled," about a young physician in the court of Catherine de Medici, and Chapter One from her book "Agnes Sorel, Mistress of Beauty; followed by the Introduction and Chapter Four from Rejaunier's book "My Sundays with Henry Miller." The actual account of the meeting between Renoir and Miller makes for interesting reading, and would have made a nice short magazine piece.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. First Edition. [slight bumping to lower corners, faint foxing to top edge of text block; the jacket shows just a touch of wear at several corners, very light spotting along spine]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the verso of the title page: "To ____: / nice to talk / to you the other day. / Now you can read / all about what I did / when I visited the / old Hollywood. / Emery." Memoir by a long-time part-time journalist at the Charlotte (NC) News, who in his capacity as "a motion picture reviewer and columnist made more than 50 trips to Hollywood to interview the celebrities and watch them at work." The author's forays to the movie capital began in 1939 and continued into the 1970s; the book is quite anecdotal (most chapters are no more than 3-4 pages long), and seems about evenly divided between goings-on in Hollywood and back home in Charlotte (although almost all the photos are shots of the author with various movie stars).
