Seller: ReadInk

Title: Keeper of the Flame
Author: Wylie, I.A.R. [Ida Alexa Ross]
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: New York: Random House. Near Fine. (c.1942). First Edition. Hardcover. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [nice clean copy with minimal shelfwear, spine slightly turned, minor bumping to lower front corner]. Novel about the young widow of an up-and-coming politician who's killed in a solo car accident, and her subsequent affair with the war correspondent who's been assigned by his newspaper to write the dead man's biography -- and the tension that arises from the writer's gradual discovery that the truth about his subject doesn't quite line up with his public image. Basis for the 1942 film of the same name, directed by George Cukor, which was already in pre-production when the novel was published in April 1942, and was the second teaming of stars Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. The Grosset & Dunlap edition of the book, issued as a tie-in with the movie, is quite common, but the first edition is remarkably scarce. Although not marked as such, this copy comes from the library of noted M-G-M producer/writer Carey Wilson (who was not involved in the making of the film, although it was made at M-G-M, with Victor Saville as producer and screenplayed by Donald Ogden Stewart.) NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. .

"There Was a Crooked Man" by Yates, George Worthing

Title: "There Was a Crooked Man"
Author: Yates, George Worthing
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Good+
Description: New York: William Morrow and Company. Good+. 1936. First Edition. Hardcover. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [shelfworn book, with some external soiling, bumping and fraying at several corners, one-time owner's inked initials plus date & place of purchase along edge of rear pastedown (concealed beneath jacket flap)]. The author's first mystery novel published under his own name (following a handful of earlier collaborative efforts with Charles Hunt Marshall as "Peter Hunt"), and the introduction of his amateur detective character, "the ancient and august Lord Broghville." While visiting friends in America, Lord B. gets involved in solving a baffling murder, as one does. (The jacket blurb declares that the creation of this character "will endear him to mystery-story fans" and that "you will meet him again in other mysteries by Mr. Yates," but the character apparently turned out to be a one-off. Yates himself turned out just a few more mystery novels before devoting himself primarily to screenwriting.) NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. .

Title: BUDDY RICH (1940s-70s) Photo archive
Author: Various
Seller: Walterfilm, Inc. (United States)
Condition: About Fine
Description: Various. No binding. About Fine. New York, Los Angeles: Various, 1940s-1970s. Set of 3 vintage original 8 x 10" (20 x 25 cm) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photos. About fine. Bernard "Buddy" Rich (1917-1987) was an American jazz drummer, songwriter, conductor and bandleader. He is considered one of the most influential drummers of all time. Brilliant and innovative, he was known to be volatile and difficult to work with and for. (Wikipedia) The earliest photo is from his 1941 appearance in the Paramount film Las Vegas Nights when he was part of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. The second is a ca. late-1940s talent agency photo. The last is likely from the early-1970s when he opened his own nightclub, "Buddy's Place", in Manhattan while incorporating rock elements into his repertoire to adapt to changing tastes.
