ON DIRECTING FILM
by David Mamet (New York): Viking, (1991). Contains publisher's first printing number code sequence 1 through 10. Inscribed, dated 1991, and SIGNED by David Mamet to the half-title page: "To Mike, David Mamet, Book Soup- 27 Fe. 1991-L.A." Book soup is a small bookshop in Hollywood that had celebrity book signing events. An instructive, reflective book on the making of a film from the director's perspective. Mamet, a Pulitzer prize winning writer, acted, directed, produced and wrote scripts for both stage and screen, giving him a fuller insight than most into the details of making of a film. The first screenplay he wrote was for the highly acclaimed 1981 POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE. Mamet followed this stellar film-writing launch by both writing and directing numerous other movies. This highly acclaimed, and continually in demand book on directing is quite elusive in a fine first edition hardcover. It is quite scarce SIGNED. This one is tight, clean, and like new! Fine in black linen over black boards with titles and vignette illustration embossed in blind to the front cover, and with metallic-red titles embossed to the spine; in a fine dust jacket; original $18.95 price still intact to the front inner flap. Octavo; 107 pages; preface. FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA PLEASE VIEW FOR MORE GREAT SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS! |
