198827975Berkeley CA: University of California Press. Near Fine. c.1988. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jackets as issued both volumes virtually as-new with only the slightest traces of handling wear internally completely unmarked. Compilation of credit data on 5189 feature films defined as films four reels or more in length from the decade that saw the birth of the feature film. The first volume of this massive ongoing indispensible reference work to be completed after the resuscitation of the Catalog project in the mid-80s it in many ways a map or a tour guide through a vanished land since between 80% and 90% of the films documented herein no longer exist in any form. The cataloguers thus denied direct access in most cases to the objects being catalogued the films nonetheless did a prodigious job of marshaling the extant evidence from contemporaneous printed materials such as trade reviews and articles catalogs and advertisements issued by the early film companies and extant archival records. This was especially daunting since at the beginning of this decade the entire concept of "credits" for films was still in the future and even by the end of the decade the on-screen credits for most films represented only a fraction of the people who created them. The individual film entries include whatever credits could be uncovered; a plot synopsis; bibliographic citations and "notes" the latter serving as a catch-all for random pieces of background information on the film. The second volume includes indexes by: personal name; corporate name; subject; genre; geographic location; literary and dramatic sources.
