Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good-. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [moderately shelfworn, spine cloth faded, faded area at the upper right corner of the front cover (apparently from an overly aggressive removal of an old price sticker or label); the front endpaper is just starting to pull loose at the top, but the binding and hinges are intact and internally the book is quite clean]. (sepia-tone and blue-tone photographs) "A Beautiful Collection of Super Art Plates Comprising A Complete Pictorial Survey of Filmland," i.e. a kind of glorified scrapbook of movie stars (mostly American but with a decent helping of Brits, too). It's giving it a bit much to call these "Super Art Plates," as they're basically just toned (sepia or blue) glamour portraits or publicity shots featuring nearly 200 performers, each accompanied by a little fan-magazine-esque biographical tidbit. (Occasionally these blurbs aren't 100% upbeat, as when it's noted that Dolores Del Rio "has not had the best of luck since talking pictures came in," or that "something about Colleen Moore's voice extinguished her star with a rush when talkilng pictures were invented.") There are a few scene stills from notable movies sprinkled in, ditto Hollywood/L.A. locales like the interior of a restaurant on Olvera Street, a couple of exterior shots of Hollywood Boulevard, etc. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****.…
