paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Near Fine dj. 2nd printing. [a very nice copy of a book that notoriously does not wear well (especially the dust jacket, which in this instance has only some minor edgewear and a few surface-scratches on the rear panel)]. (B&W photographs) A detailed, extensively illustrated chronicle of Berkeley's film and stage work, published when he was still alive to enjoy it (and able to dedicate the book, sweetly, to his wife Etta). (His sixth and last wife, if you must know: B.B. was a heavy drinker, and not the easiest guy to live or work with.) The Foreword is by Ruby Keeler, who danced for Berkeley in four of his most famous films -- 42ND STREET, GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933, FOOTLIGHT PARADE and DAMES -- and starred in the 1971 Broadway revival of "No, No, Nanette," for which he was "production supervisor," a largely honorary role. (He was originally hired to direct and choreograph the show, but was then in his seventies and had been largely inactive since the mid-1950s, and wasn't up to the demands of the job.) ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this oversized and heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****.…
