Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor dj. First Edition. (price-clipped) [moderate wear to book, top corners bumped; jacket is missing large pieces at several corners, and about 1/4 of the top of the rear panel (front panel illustration is mostly unaffected)]. 18 humorous stories of Hollywood agent "Benny Greenspan," most of which had originally appeared in The New Yorker, and an introduction which discusses the place of the agent in the movie business, with particular reference to screenwriters. (The author had done a stint in Hollywood himself, and of course was also the one-time husband of Lillian Hellman.) Each story includes its own brief "afterword," in which the author relates the events of the story to some bit of show-business lore, or to his own experience. The stories are largely told in Benny's voice, and the titles alone are worth the price of admission: "It's Enough to Curl Your Blood"; "I'm the Dog Evveybody Is Talkin' It Shouldn't Happen To"; "I Got Hard Luck Hooverin' Over Me Like a Flock of Vouchers"; etc.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. THAT MAN IS HERE AGAIN The Adventures of a Hollywood Agent by Arthur Kober 1946 1st edition published by Random House vg condition Here is Hollywood from the inside, a personally conducted tour of the kinds of places and people you'd have to know if you wanted to get along in the Celluloids. This is the business end of movie-making through the eyes of an "artist's representative," a fast-talking, flinty little "human domino" who always has hard luck "hoovering over him like a flock of vouchers." The deals he makes for his clients (and for a percentage of his clients' earnings) are hammered out in conference rooms, projection rooms, hotel rooms, Chasen's, Romanoff's, in fact "in every nook and granny" that offers a chance to "hustle a fast buck." No one but Arthur Kober, whose sensitive ear recorded HAVING WONDERFUL TIME, MY DEAR BELLA, etc., could have caught this character's awe-inspiring mutilations of the mother tongue. And to each of these eighteen hilarious episodes (17 of which appeared in The New Yorker, and one in Redbook) he has added a postscript revealing the facts on which it is based. "very good, jacket has some wear but is now in a plastic protector, gift inscription inside, clean tight and very good".
