197526842New York: Arbor House. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. c.1975. First Edition. Hardcover. nice clean copy with just the teensiest bit of shelfwear; the jacket is similarly nice with only some minimal wear along the top edge light surface-scratching to the rear panel. A Hollywood novel of sorts set in both Rome and California about the love affair between a beautiful Italian film star and a "somewhat balding" middle-aged Jewish American screenwriter. This was the first of just two novels by Shavelson himself a noted screenwriter/director who served three non-consecutive terms as president of the Writers Guild of America-west. Among his films as a director were two starring Sophia Loren -- HOUSEBOAT 1958 and IT STARTED IN NAPLES 1960 -- and it seems conceivable that the novel's titular character may have been somewhat modeled on or inspired by Loren. .

The back pastedown has a tan fold over with wood engraving of Frigate-birds in flight protecting a triple-page fold-up wood engraving printed on ivory Japanese paper of the "Rock Redondo" with the aquatic birds that inhabit it. The back flyleaf contains an "Artist's Note" with a key to the birds pictured on the "tower." The binding is the result of the collaboration between Ron Keller of Red Angel Press and Philip Warner who designed and screen-printed the image on the covers. Mr. Warner who lives and works in New York City teaches at the Parsons School of Design; and his work on textiles and papers has been exhibited in numerous one-man and group shows throughout the country.<br/>This is an elaborate and unique presentation of Melville's text. Hand-set and printed in Bembo the text is handsomely set off by Keller's graceful birds. The title page also features the Frigate-bird in flight; these are blind stamped. An elegant presentation an homage to Melville. Out of print for several years it is available only on the secondary market. Red Angel Press unknown books
