Full text of the author/playwright's play. One of Reynolds Price's finest achievements. Review Copy. Review Materials laid-in. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Reynolds Price's "Private Contentment: A Play". Which title is ironic: Severe public and private traumas collide in the life of a young man about to be dispatched to war. Premiered by American Playhouse on April 27 1982 and broadcast live on television by PBS it marks the auspicious and acclaimed performance of the young Peter Gallagher in the lead role of Logan Melton. The extraordinarily handsome and gifted actor is shown on the DJ Cover which reproduces the official portrait-photograph by Stathis Orphanos the legendary photographer and private-label literary publisher. "The present text will provide a parallel experience. With the added advantage of a chance to consider the strength of Price's dramatic architecture and dialogue" Publisher's blurb. The recording of the PBS broadcast is obtainable with some difficulty on VHS tape online and is collectible in its own right for obvious reasons. An absolute "must-have" title for Reynolds Price and Peter Gallagher collectors. This is a Review Copy. The lovely and elaborate Review Materials are all laid-in. It is very prominently neatly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Reynolds Price. It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. It comes with a pale-yellow 6 X 4 inch Souvenir Card that is neatly pasted on the front free endpaper also very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen by Peter Gallagher. This title is a late-modern classic. As far as we know this is the only such double-signed Review Copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century and our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 0689114559. Atheneum hardcover

It would be over 55 years before Congress passed the Lead-Based Poisoning Prevention Act in 1971 restricting residential use of lead paint. National Lead Company hardcover
