1964131051Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1964. Draft script for the 1965 film based on the 1948 novel by Evelyn Waugh legendarily co-written by Terry Southern and Christopher Isherwood. Deluxe working script belonging to uncredited crew member William Todd Mason with his name and phone number in holograph ink on the title page and some brief penciled annotations on three pages. Laid in is a corner stapled three page Staff and Crew list with two name additions in holograph red ink on the second page. <br/><br/>Included is a vintage studio still photograph from the film. <br/><br/>An early draft issued nearly two years prior to the film's October 1965 release with substantial differences from the finished film. <br/><br/>The sister film to "Dr. Strangelove" and in the eyes of many just as much a masterpiece of exquisitely wrought black humor. Made in the US but in a dense British-American style. Ostensibly a satire on the funeral business in which a young British poet winds up in a Hollywood cemetery as part of an inheritance arrangement-but in reality a satire of Hollywood itself as well as the Western malaise of the mid 1960s. <br/><br/>Script: Self wrappers presumably as this draft was issued. Title page present rubber stamped copy No. 70 dated July 21 1964 with credits for screenwriters Southern and Isherwood. 158 leaves mimeograph duplication with blue revision pages throughout dated 7-22-64. Pages Fine wrapper Fine bound with two gold brads. <br/><br/>Staff and Crew listing: two leaves slightly worn with annotations on the second page. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM] unknown books

Lacks title labe 1 inch chip from spine head boards rubbed stain to bottom half of final Family Guide section and a few pages preceding it all text still legible. 1828 Full-Leather. 468 24 pp. 12mo. Original full leather. A collection of remedies for both animals and people including some herbal treatments. Two separate indexes to the various receipts follow the text of their respective sections. "A farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care including the trimming and balancing of a horse's hoof and the placing of shoes to the horse's foot. A farrier couples a subset of the blacksmith's skills fabricating adapting and adjusting metal shoes with a subset of veterinary medicine knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the lower limb to address the care of the horse's feet. At one time farrier and blacksmith were all but synonymous. A farrier's work in colonial America or pre-Industrial Revolution Europe would have included horseshoeing as well as the fabrication and repair of tools the forging of architectural pieces etc. Today farriers usually specialize in horseshoeing focusing their time and effort on the care of the horse's foot. For this reason farriers and blacksmiths are considered to be in separate albeit related trades. A farrier's routine work is primarily hoof trimming and shoeing. In ordinary cases it is important to trim each hoof so that it retains its proper orientation to the ground. If the animal has a heavy work load works on abrasive footing needs additional traction or has pathological changes in the foot then shoes may be required. Additional tasks for the farrier include dealing with injured and/or diseased hooves and application of special shoes for racing training or 'cosmetic' purposes. In cases of horses with certain diseases or injuries special remedial procedures may be needed for the hooves and then special shoes may need to be constructed and fitted.

From dust jacket: The three hundred magnificent photographs in this book taken from the collection at the Smithsonian Institution offer a unique record of the Indians of North America. In the 19th century the earliest photographers promted by curiosity and a sense of adventure were followerd by those whose aim it was to capture the uniqueness of the Indians as well as the turmoil and pathos of change as the Indian way of life confronted that of the white man. The 19th century photographers trace the first peaceful encounters between red and white the bloodly military clashes the uncertain search for new lands and the eventual settlement of the Indians on reservations and Indian schools.
