(pictorial paste-on cover illustratoins; no dust jacket) [a well-worn ex-library copy, with remnants of removed labels on front pastedown and ffep, bumping and edgewear all around; also note that the celluloid silhouette of Stalin is missing from this copy]. (B&W photographs) The Soviets' own assessment (in English) of their national cinema during the Stalin era, profusely illustrated. Includes: numerous articles on the Soviet film industry and its importance in the life of the nation and its people, the high political and artistic qualities of the country's cinematic art, etc.; biographical notes on 19 individual filmmakers (including Alexander Dovzhenko, V.I. Pudovkin, Sergei Eisenstein, Dziga Vertov, Lev Kuleshov, Eduard Tisse); a section on the conception and production of the 1934 film CHAPAYEV, an epic film glorifying one of the heroes of the Revolution; statements "on Soviet film art" by 29 people, including many of the same filmmakers profiled in the biographical section, but also various foreigners such as Andre Gide, John Wexley, John Howard Lawson, and Cecil B. DeMille (wonder how the staunchly anti-communist DeMille felt about that, a few years later?). The last dozen or so pages contain ads from various Soviet producing firms, touting their recent product. NOTE, again, that the celluloid silhouette of Stalin is missing from this copy -- although the fold-out page with the cut-out window (through which Lenin can be seen) is fully intact, and the book is otherwise complete with no missing pages or textual markings. A serviceable copy of a fairly rare book, designed by Constructivist artists Rodchenko and Stepanova. Breixo Viejo, in "Film Books: A Visual History" (15.4), describes it as "an explosive combination of avant-garde design and Communist propaganda, [with] a lively internal layout of flexible grid and two-color sans-serif typefaces," ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this somewhat heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****.

Welcome to ReadInk (pronounced like "Dead Ink"), now in its 27th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. Our watchwords here are: * Availability. Every book listed for sale is in my possession and available for purchase; every image posted is a picture of the actual book on offer. * Service. Although I occasionally adopt the so-called "royal We," in fact ReadInk is just Me -- I handle everything from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing automated here -- just prompt, personal attention to every order. * Accurate Description. I use standard book-grading terminology -- Good, Very Good, Fine (with various +/- gradations as appropriate) -- and try to avoid both excessive jargon and obsessive amounts of detail. "Fine" is my highest grade, and a book has to be darn near perfect to earn it; even the smallest flaw or blemish will knock the grade down to "Near Fine.? I strive to present a faithful impression of a book?s condition and appearance; significant flaws such as remainder marks, previous owner's names, tears in the dust jacket, etc. are always noted, or if too numerous are reasonably summarized. * Information. Whenever practical, I try to include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this. On the occasions I let this slide, it's generally because the book is a common one, or because the title itself is sufficiently descriptive. * Care for the Book. I package all books with great care, to ensure they will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach their new owners in the same condition as advertised. My specific packaging techniques vary according to the needs of the book itself, but either a sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved. (No bubble envelopes, ever, unless the contents are thoroughly protected within.) That?s all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. My inventory appears here on AbeBooks and on my own website ? www.readinkbooks.com. Come on in! Howard Prouty, prop.
