1963134888Hollywood: Paramount Pictures 1963. Revised Final White script for the 1963 film. Copy belonging to a crew member presumed with annotations in holograph ink and pencil on both sides of the first page. <br/><br/>Based on a screenplay by Jacqueline "Jay" Presson Allen a romantic comedy about unsuccessful writer Bill Austin Johnson who lives in New York with his wife Bertie Leigh. Their lives change dramatically when Bill's first novel becomes a bestseller and he persuades Bertie to quit her job and move to the suburbs. Bill begins working long hours on Broadway adapting his novel for the theater and he spends more and more time with his attractive agent Lucinda Ford Hyer. Bertie is suspicious and begins courting actor Gar Aldrich Jeremy Slate. <br/> <br/>Set in New York shot on location in California. Edith Head was nominated for an Oscar for her costume designs. <br/><br/>Playwright and screenwriter Jay Allen was living in New York when she wrote the screenplay performing on radio and in cabaret both of which she loathed so much that she tried to get fired from nearly every production. After a long period of writer's block she started writing again and sold some of her work to live television programs like "The Philco Television Playhouse." When she married Lewis M. Allen in 1955 they moved to the countryside where Allen had a baby and spent two and a half "absolutely wonderful years in the country."<br/><br/>Eventually the couple came back to the city to work. Allen drew on her married life and wrote "The First Wife" a witty script about a suburban working couple. When Allen read Muriel Spark's "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" she instantly saw the books potential for stage adaptation. After undergoing hypnotherapy to alleviate another bout of writer's block Allen produced a draft of the play in three days. <br/><br/>Allen's notable film credits as screenwriter include "Marnie" 1964 "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" 1969 "Cabaret" 1972 "A Star Is Born" 1976 "Deathtrap" and "The Verdict" both 1982 and "Lord of the Flies" 1990. <br/><br/>Self wrappers noted as REVISED FINAL WHITE SCRIPT on the front wrapper rubber-stamped copy No. 107 and production No. 10228 dated February 1 1963 with a credit for screenwriter Anhalt.

1843245808London: Reprinted for Thomas Rodd Great Newport Street Compton & Ritchie Printers Middle Street Cloth Fair 1843. First edition. 16 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Sewn as issued. In half blue morocco slipcase and chemise. Fine. First edition. 16 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. 'Liberty is dead!' - Political Tract by Shelley. According to Wise: "In 1843 when advertising the present pamphlet for sale Rodd asserted that it was a facsimile reprint of an alleged original edition of which the author had printed twenty copies in 1816. No example of this mysterious original has ever been unearthed; no trace of it beyond Rodd's own statement has ever been discovered; and no mention of any kind either of its printing or distribution is to be found in the correspondence of Shelley or any of his friends. My own opinion is that no original ever existed that the private impression of twenty copies was a myth and that Rodd's so-called facsimile reprint of 1843 is in fact the actual princeps of the Address."<br/>Political essay arguing that the death of Princess Charlotte in childbirth was "a private grief" while the execution of three weavers for high treason in Derbyshire was a national tragedy.<br/>"The execution of Brandreth Ludlam and Turner is an event of quite a different character from the death of Princess Charlotte . It is a national calamity that we endure men to rule over us who sanction for whatever ends a conspiracy which is to arrive at its purpose through such a frightful pouring forth of human blood and agony . Liberty is dead!"<br/>Uncommon.

1998162038Washington: National Gallery of Art 1998. Hardcover. VG. Illus. boards with crimson spine; 253 pp. BW illus. A compilation of information "about watermarks in the papers used by Rembrandt. The vast extent of the corpus of Rembrandt's printed work -- the sheer number of surviving works on paper -- lends itself to such a far-reaching study. The authors have relied on the precise information now available in radiographic images to verify the accuracy of the watermarks in question and they have organized their material and presented it in a format that is easily accessible to the researcher. Perhaps even more important than its uses for Rembrandt print research is that the methodology developed in preparign this book might well become a model or even a stimulus for similar projects on other artists in the future." foreword.

In very good condition contemporary name. A very sharp example. Valperga "was a novel surprisingly long in its gestation " and possibly concurrent with Frankenstein .
