19922143411992. unbound. 1 page 11 x 8.5 inches no place March 12 1992. In this letter Moore attacks the liberal media for the failure of his latest book in part: "I much appreciated your good words on 'White Tribe'.It is not getting the distribution or play and promotion I haad sic hoped for - probably because the book industry considers it a right wing anti-black nationalist book. I'm sure the NY Times hates it. They are even saying Mandela ius sic not a Communist - that's what the Times said about Castro. I leave tomorrow for Moscow to do a second phase of research for my next book on the Russian Militia police working with New York cops to nail the world's largest counterfeiting ring."

196821107Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company Inc. Good. 1968. 1st U.S. edition. Softcover Softcover. NOISBN . covers are edgeworn especially along front hinge which is somewhat deterioriated with the front cover just beginning to separate from the spine at the bottom; the binding itself is solid however and the text clean. Cinema World No. 7 Series Trade PB B&W photographs SIGNED on the title page by Howard Hawks. This was the first serious book in English to be devoted to Hawks's work by one of his earliest champions at least on this side of the Atlantic. Wood 1931-2009 was an influential British-born film critic whose prose style was an important complement to his critical insights; he had been an early contributor to the U.K. journal "Movie" the first English-language periodical to fly the auteurist banner. This was his second book; his first on Alfred Hitchcock was similarly ground-breaking. It's highly uncommon to find this or any book autographed by Hawks who was not much known for giving either critics or fans much more than the time of day regardless of whether or not he was wearing a watch.
