A propos de cet article

[nice clean copy, faint external handling wear only]. (B&W photographs, ads, graphics) An original essay by Bradbury, contained in the official catalogue/program book for the fourth (1975) iteration of the once-beloved and still-lamented Filmex (the Los Angeles International Film Exposition), which was a major presence on the L.A. film-cultural scene from 1981 until its demise in 1985. This was also the festival's first year in its best venue, the Plitt Century Plaza Theatres, a two-screen facility which made possible one of its most anticipated and treasured events, the 50-Hour Movie Marathon. This year's inaugural Marathon was devoted to science fiction films: 25 full-length features were screened, along with excerpts from twenty more, plus several dozen trailers and all 13 chapters of the original 1936 FLASH GORDON serial. Bradbury was credited as "Special Advisor" to the Marathon, and contributed the original four-page essay that appears on pages 50-53 of this catalogue. (To those in the know, it's notable that two of the guiding intelligences behind the program -- credited with "assistance" -- were then-future-director Joe Dante and then-future-producer Jon Davison, who had more or less pioneered the cobbled-together "movie marathon" concept with their now-famous THE MOVIE ORGY, which took college campuses by storm in the late 1960s and early 1970s.) In his essay, Bradbury provides a very personal look at the history of science fiction as a genre (including some commentary on his own early writings), and its relationship to (especially) American society and history during its formative years. He writes: "Science fiction is insidious. It is secretly subversive of all that you have believed in the past. It is revolutionary in that it may well make you want to go out and invent better empathy-machines, which repeat truths and amiably shape dreams, such as those strange robots, the motion-picture projector or the record player." As far as I know, this essay has not been reprinted in any Bradbury collection.…

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.…
