Vintage cinema hardcover “The Making of King Kong” 1975 First edition in original jacket
Original price was: $98.00.$80.36Current price is: $80.36.
This is a “very good” hard cover in black paper wrapped boards, profusely illustrated with examples of conceptual art, film stills, and behind the scenes photos, 271 page including an index. Published by A.S. Barnes in 1975.
First edition.
Has a strong intact binding and hinges/gutters. No writing, no loose, torn or folded pages. The text block closes square and tightly. The board corners are fairly crisp, with the upper back and lower front showing just hint of light bumping. Lower corners have what looks to be some white paint at the tips. Text block edges are uniform and bright, clean with just a couple each small light specks on the bottom and outer edge. The spine head and tail are bumped. The titling on the spine is crisp, bright, complete. The front endpapers are tanned due to the original owner sticking several related news clippings inside for storage. (I will include these, but they will be in an archival clear sleeve.)
The matching dust wrapper is not price clipped, showing original publishers price of $17.50 inside the front flap. Some chipping at the flap fold corners, and also looks to be a little of that white paint at the tips of the bottoms. No writing or other tears. Some tanning on inside of flaps. Minimal edge wear along the bottom edge of the boards. Now protected in a removable archival sleeve.
Somewhat scarce title!
Will make a really great gift for the Kong enthusiast in your life.
Please see accompanying images for full condition details.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.

Garry Trudeau “A Doonesbury Special” Signed First edition hardcover in original jacket
$82.00
"A Doonesbury Special - A Director's Notebook", by Garry Trudeau, published by Sheed, Andrews & McMeel inc in 1978.
Signed association copy, first edition.
This large format illustrated cloth bound hardcover with original dust jacket chronicling the creation of the television special of the same name, is inscribed "For Richard Killberg with gratitude from Garry Trudeau, March 16, 1978" and also signed by the producer Faith Hubley (see images).
This is a "very good" vintage book covered in white cloth with gold embossing on the cover and spine. The embossing is bright and clear, not rubbed or faded. The board corners are sharp, not worn or bumped, the spine head and heel are minimally bumped. There is light tanning to the board edges around, and two small, approximately dime sized light spots on the back board edges, one at top and one at the bottom. The top one does not reach the interior, the lower one has a brown spot on the inner edge. None of the pages are loose, torn or folded and there is no writing aside from the mentioned inscription. The book is solid with tight hinges. The text block edges are somewhat tanned.
Richard Killberg was a director and producer, and he may have either had an uncredited role in the creation of the television special or Mr. Trudeau and Ms. Hubley owed him thanks for some previous assistance.
The original dust jacket, now securely protected in a removable archival mylar sleeve is not price clipped, showing the original publisher's price of $12.95 inside the front flap. The back has a couple of 1 1/2" - 2" closed tears at the top edge with some accompanying creasing and little loss on one. No writing, some general edge wear and light tanning to white background. Not a perfect cover, but still very pleasant and presentable.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
