Item description from seller

[as new, with no discernible wear of any kind]. (B&W photo cover) An uncommon piece of Beatles-related ephemera, consisting of four mimeographed pages (text on one side only), fastened together with a single staple, inside a printed folder with a photo of the Fab Four on the cover. This was issued under the banner of UA:16, the non-theatrical (16mm) distribution arm of United Artists, to assist high school teachers who wanted to use The Beatles' 1964 debut feature film as part of their classroom curricula (these teachers would have to have been quite a few degrees cooler than any high school teacher I ever had, with the exception of Mr. Patrick Burns). Its contents are organized under four headings -- The Origin of the Film; The Filmmakers and Their Format; The Attitude of the Film; Suggestions for Usage -- and as might be expected from the imposition of such an overlay onto such an essentially anarchic film, the results (despite their obvious sincerity) are often unintentionally hilarious. One sample: The film, "according to type, may be classified as an entertainment documentary, or as an actuality reenactment, or as all other kinds of contradictory terms. It is unique in its class because it sets out to record the actual face of an entertainment event without losing the distancing effect of cinema artifice." The "Suggestions for Usage" section begins: "A Hard Day's Night is basically an experience. In colleges, it has a validity as a sociological study, but on the high school level it is a chance for a teenager to confront himself and his values. The teenagers presented in the film are actually people, not actors, and as previously described by [Hunter] Davies, 'emotionally, mentally, or sexually excited, foaming at the mouth' etc. Although the film elicited the same reaction, hopefully in the seventies in the classroom it would received a more balanced reaction. The movie itself is an antidote to runaway emotionalism." (NOTE that I have dated this based in part on its inclusion of quotes from Hunter Davies's 1968 biography of The Beatles and Joseph Gelmis's 1970 book "The Film Director as Superstar.").

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.
