[all issues are VG+ or better (many close to Fine), with various bits of minor external wear; all issues are complete and internally clean]. (B&W photographs) A full year of issues of this erstwhile (and somewhat idosyncratic) film journal, most noted (and valued) by film buffs for its deeply-researched career articles (often corrected or supplemented by attentive readers in subsequent issues' Letters columns). This year's career-article subjects are: Don Ameche, Jane Wyatt, Jean Simmons, Ann Harding, Louis Wolheim, Joan Blondell, Theodore Roberts, Maurice Chevalier, Marion Davies, Sydney Greenstreet, Lon McCallister, Dave O'Brien, Lana Turner, Carl Mayer, Rita Hayworth, Nazimova, and Randolph Scott. (If any of these career articles interests you, see the NOTE at the end.) Most of the current film releases of the year are reviewed (often quite quirkily or crankily), and this was a pretty good year, which saw the release of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (which editor Hart, predictably, hated), CABARET, THE GODFATHER, THE SORROW AND THE PITY, WHAT'S UP, DOC?, SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE, FRENZY, JUNIOR BONNER, DELIVERANCE, FAT CITY, SOUNDER, and FELLNI'S ROMA. All these any many more are reviewed in the course of the year, and as a regular reader of this magazine during this period, I can testify that the regular critics, who were very much writing from an "old-school" perspective, could often be hilariously off the mark with regard to films that didn't line up with their sensibilities -- but at the same time, they were sometimes surprisingly pithy and perceptive. There were monthly columns devoted to films on TV, film music, and film collecting -- and of course the Letters section, a veritable hotbed of dedicated and knowledgeable readers sending in corrections, additions, arguments and additional perspectives (one regular sub-heading in the Letters column was "Erudition Wanted & Supplied." NOTE, please, that if you are interested in one particular career article or other individual feature story, but don't want to buy the whole set just to get it, please send us an inquiry; we are deeply stocked on this periodical, and may well be able to supply you with the individual issue you're seeking, at a modest price.

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.
