Stapled wraps. clean copy some stress marks along spine slight bumping to upper right corner some finger-creasing and light scuffing to rear cover. B&W photographs Program/tribute book largely photographic but also including a group of short appreciations of Poiter by Harry Belafonte John Singleton Stanley Kramer and Sydney Poitier the honoree's daughter as well as a reminiscence by Poitier himself adapted from a previously published book. Includes a filmography with basic credits and because this was the 20th anniversary of the award and the AFI being the relentlessly self-promoting organization it is a 2-page list of "initiatives and selected highlights" from AFI history followed by two more pages of tiny-font lists of the organization's benefactors and sponsors. Interesting to note admidst all the present-day discussions of diversity in the film industry that to date Poitier and Morgan Freeman are the only two African-Americans to have received the AFI Life Achievement Award out of 44 that have been presented. .

198229640Washington DC: The American Film Institute. Near Fine. 1982. First Edition. Stapled wraps. a nice clean copy minor handling wear only and a couple of small horizontal stress lines along the spine. B&W photographs Nicely-done program/tribute book largely photographic from Capra's Life Achievement Award dinner; includes filmography. It's interesting to note that the tribute book's editor also the co-author of the tribute itself was Joseph McBride who some years later published a highly critical biography of Capra. NOTE that this is not the version of the program that was produced for sale to the public by the AFI which had a picture of Capra on the front but rather the program distributed at the dinner itself with a silver-on-silver cover featuring only the AFI logo. .

198221110Washington DC: The American Film Institute. Near Fine. 1982. Stapled wraps. a small amount of wear along the spine otherwise nice and fresh just about as new. B&W photographs Nicely-done program/tribute book largely photographic from Capra's Life Achievement Award dinner; includes filmography. It's interesting to note that the tribute book's editor also the co-author of the tribute itself was Joseph McBride who some years later published a highly critical biography of Capra. NOTE that this would appear to be the "public" version of the program with Capra pictured on the front cover that was produced for sale and/or distribution to AFI members; the program distributed at the dinner itself following the pattern of earlier years had a silver-on-silver cover featuring only the AFI logo. Nonetheless along with most of these programs prior to 1986 -- the first time a specifically-labeled "AFI Souvenir Edition" was produced in large quantities -- this one is fairly scarce. .

196873791Pasadena California: California Institute of Technology 1968. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Emil Herzog's set with his ink signature to the front flyleaf in the first volume. A pioneering work based on extensive research conducted at Caltech and Palomar Observatory. While the delineation of the clusters on the 48-inch Palomar Schmidt plates was Zwicky's work all the measurements of the tens of thousands of individual galaxies were Herzog's: photographing each field with the 18-inch Palomar Schmidt measuring coordinates and preparing finding charts. In addition he determined the apparent magnitudes of the brighter galaxies by schraffier guided plates and a flyspanker. For the fainter objects where the schraffier images were too washed out to be manageable he found that his nearsightedness made schraffier images unnecessary. His familiarity with the 48-inch Schmidt plates led him to be one of the first to be aware of the character of the large-scale distribution of galaxies. Later the Swiss-born Herzog 1917-98 taught astronomy at the University of Southern California and mathematics at Cal Poly Pomona serving as department chair from 1974 to 1980. Quarto six volumes. Original blue buckram bindings with gilt titles. Mild fading to the spines with a small spot to the front board of the first volume; otherwise a very good set.
