A propos de cet article

(no dust jacket, as issued) [good solid copy with intact binding (often not the case with these heavy volumes), but with some edgewear to covers (including exposure of the boards at several spots)]. (B&W photographs, advertisements) Biographies, directories, statistics, surveys, etc., focusing primarily on the American film industry but also devoting quite a bit of space to the international marketplace. Sections: Who's Who (brief biographies and credits of thousands of individuals, which takes up 772 of the book's 1,250 pages); Corporate Structure & Financial Statements: Motion Picture Production Organizations; Distribution; Exhibition; Managers' Round Table: British Film Market; Foreign Film Market; Production: List of Product (films arranged by producing company); Distribution; Exhibition; Operation (incorporating Managers Round Table); The British Film Market; The Foreign Film Market; Theatre Equipment; Sponsored Films (The Industrial & Advertising Picture Market); Radio; Pictures (brief credits, release dates and running times for features released in the 1936-37 and 1937-38 "seasons"); The Press; Motion Picture Societies. (I find the "Foreign Film Market" to be most interesting, with its assessments of the film industries in numerous countries (and the prospects for American films there), on the eve of World War II. There are one- or two-page analyses devoted to these industries/markets: Argentina, Australia, Austria, China, France, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Japan, and Mexico -- but, notably, not Germany, which gets only a couple of short paragraphs in a general survey section, and includes the cautionary notes that "American product is at the strict minimum necessary to supplement Germany's insufficient production" and that "films considered by the ministry to be 'detrimental to German prestige' are barred.") Interspersed throughout the volume are advertisements for both companies and individuals. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order. As always at ReadInk, domestic Media Mail shipping is FREE.****.…

Description de la boutique

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.…
