19557069New York: Popular Library 1955. First Thus. Very Good. 4 1/4 X 6 7/8 Inches. 128 PP. "It remains an elusive period piece and one that is passionately sought after by Bond fans." - Jon Gilbert author of "Ian Fleming: The Bibliography"<br /> <br /> First United States paperback printing of Casino Royale a title that Popular Library feared would by unpronounceable by an American audience. Aside from the title change which apparently Fleming did not mind at all according to Gilbert / pg 50 Popular Library used the "Jimmy Bond" version of 007's name. This did not go as well for the publisher. In addition to leaving Fleming's name off the spine and not denoting his man's "Special Agent" status of any kind this flaw would spell doom for the publisher. Fleming promptly moved his paperback rights to Signet for later versions of this book. This would be the ONLY paperback James Bond novel ever produced by Popular Library. <br /> <br /> Hint of wear to edges and spine ends. Some sunning to top corner of gutters causing the green border to fade. A very attractive copy overall. One of the high spots of early "Bondiana" that is still often overlooked.

197016443JCulver City: Metro-Golwyn-Mayer Studios 1970s. The original "Myrna Loy Building" metal sign from the M.G.M. Hollywood Studio lot. In the 1970s the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio started naming various buildings after their classic film stars. Myrna Loy was alive and well at the time of the naming of her building. This sign was acquired by a gentleman who worked as a carpenter on the lot for many years. His accompanying letter reads: During the middle 1980's 85 to 89 I Michael McGovern worked at the old M.G.M. lot Studios in Culver City California in the Permanent Construction Dept. The lot was sold several times in this time frame. At one point before the now Sony Studios it was owned and named Lorimar Telepictues. When the lot was Lorimar Telepictures they were painting and changing the M.G.M. lot to the new Lorimar "look." Thus the signs Blue and Gold naming the building after the old M.G.M. stars were taken down and replaced with the new signs brown and white that matched the Lorimar colors. I asked my boss if it was OK to keep the signs I changed and he said it was fine with him. Myrna Loy is best known for her portrayal of "Nora Charles" in six Thin Man films with William Powell of the 1930s but also starred in Manhattan Melodrama Libeled Lady Test Pilot The Best Years of our Lives Cheaper by the Dozen and From the Terrace. Her film career spanned more than 50 years Accompanied by a copy of Mr. McGovern's "Prop Maker" ID card. The sign measures 18 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches and presents with some obvious wear from the elements like extremely small areas of rust and signs of use overall in excellent condition. Today the studio lot is owned by Sony and it houses both Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures. The Myrna Loy Building which was the old MGM sound department exists and it still proudly bears her name.
