THIS IS NEW OLD STOCK, NEVER SOLD. IT WAS PRINTED IN 1985, THE STORE CLOSED IN 1987, AND IT HAS BEEN BOXED SINCE THEN. NO DUST JACKET, AS ISSUED BY SCARECROW PRESS. THE ONLY CONDITION ISSUE IS A SMALL PARTIAL PRICE LABEL ON REAR COVER. THIS IS NUMBER 8 IN FILMMAKERS SERIES. 301 pages.

VERY UNCOMMON IN HARDCOVER FORMAT. This is an unmarked book in "as new" condition, with the exception of the label on rear cover. Virtually every other copy available on the internet is ex-library or ridiculously priced.

I purchased a collection of books and other items from the estate of the owner of a former New York City bookstore named Cinemabilia at 10 West 13th St , run by Ernest D. Burns.  It was located in Greenwich Village in the 1970's and 1980's and, I believe, closed down in 1987 (These books have been packed in boxes since 1987). It included primarily books on film, but also opera and puppets and New Orleans. Many of the books I will be listing are "new old stock" in that they were never sold. When his store closed down, he boxed everything up and they have spent the last thirty years boxed and/or bagged. As many were bagged, they will retain the brand new crispness of the jacket and pages, with many of the books clearly having never been opened until I did so to inspect and photograph them for purposes of identification. Those that were not bagged may have dusty edges or toning to the edges of the jackets and pages. If that is the case, I will describe them as such. Most of the new books that I have were printed in the 1970's and 1980's and  I will also be listing many used books as this was also a used bookstore.

I utilize a third party EBAY supplied shipper for international sales. This is part of the Global Shipping Program. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. I have no control over import fees that may be charged. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Global shipping service does not allow combined shipping from a single seller for items purchased at different times, but I believe that it can be done if you want to purchase multiple items from one seller. I believe that, if you "add to cart" and then do a single "Buy it Now" with the items in the cart, you may be able to combine International Shipping Charges but please confirm this with the Global Shipping Company before finalizing the purchase. Thank you.

PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the  bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required.  Thank you
