“B” MOVIES, rare 1973 first edition

New York: Curtis Books, 1973. Mass-market paperback. First edition. Don Miller’s chronicle of the great second features produced during Hollywood’s Golden Age is hands down the best book on the subject written to date: a one-stop-shopping compendium that covers literally hundreds of low-budget films made between 1933 and 1945. The first edition (there was a second paperback edition in the late ’80s) went largely unnoticed in its day and is now a highly coveted collector’s item. At this writing there are only two copies being offered on the internet, both are priced at $90 and neither is as sharp as this one. Condition: Fine, lightly used if at all. Ever so slight age darkening of the spine. NOTE: This book was notorious for having been ineffectively glued during binding, and most surviving copies in private hands have loose covers and/or pages. This copy is tightly bound and will hold up under multiple readings and consultations.

SORRY, BUT THIS ITEM IS AVAILABLE TO DOMESTIC U.S. BUYERS ONLY.  COST OF MAILING INCLUDED IN PURCHASE PRICE.
