A propos de cet article

[a lovely, as-new copy, with no discernible wear to either book or jacket]. (B&W and color photographs) SIGNED by Gavin Lambert on the half-title page, where there is also (laid in) an original George Cukor bookplate, designed by Paul Landacre. A revised, updated and redesigned edition of a book originally published in 1972, this edition has incorporated "new material from [the] original taped interviews with Cukor, assembled never-before-published photographs from Cukor's personal collection, and updated a complete filmography that includes movies re-shot by Cukor without credit." The book is basically a long interview with Cukor, recorded in multiple sessions in 1970 as an American Film Institute oral history project -- and is almost a textbook case of the importance of employing an intelligent, well-informed interviewer (who also happened to be a terrific writer himself). Not only had Lambert been a longtime personal friend of Cukor's, they were also quite simpatico as gay men working in Hollywood -- although in retrospect it seems unfortunate (if unsurprising) that this topic was not discussed, at least on the record, in their interview sessions; in the original 1972 edition, in fact, it's not even alluded to. As Lambert explains in his rewritten introduction here, "At Cukor's insistence, his personal life was off-limits for publication (or taping). As friends, of course, we knew about each other's sexuality, but Cukor grew up at a time when discretion was obligatory. And although he never felt guilty about being gay, he was pragmatic; and chose to realize himself in creative work at the expense of personal fulfillment." Signed by Author.…

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.…
