A propos de cet article

(no dust jacket, as issued) [good sound copy with firm binding (often not the case with these heavy volumes), light external wear but much cleaner that usually seen with this series, despite some minor staining at the top corner of the rear cover]. (B&W photographs, advertisements) Biographies, directories, statistics, surveys, etc., focusing primarily on the American film industry but justifying its "International" titling by including sections on the British and Latin American film markets. This was, of course, during the war, so the disruption to the formerly-lucrative European market was, shall we say, rather seriously disrupted; as publisher Martin Quigley puts it in his introductory note, the volume records the extent to which "the motion picture is earnestly, effectively engaged in serving both its audiences with entertainment of a high order and high importance in these days of stress; and serving, too, that same citizenry in the support of direct war causes in all manner of activities from the promotion of war loans at home to star appearances on the stages of theatres right behind the front." The sections of the book are: Who's Who (comprising about 60% of the volume's 970 pages); Motion Picture Corporations (including personnel and financial statements); The Motion Picture in the War; Industry Facts and Events of 1943-44; Services; Theatre Circuits; Organizations; Codes and Censorship (including the full text of the Motion Picture Production Code); British Film Market; Latin America; Theatre Equipment, Materials and Furnishings; Pictures (brief credits, release dates and running times for features, 1937-1944, with lists of short subjects, foreign film imports, and serials); Consent Decree (including the full text); Radio [and] Television; The Press. Interspersed throughout 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.…
