hardcover, 7¾" x 10", with dust jacket 266 pages Distinguished Swedish journalist Sven Broman gained Greta Garbo's confidence and penetrated her legendary silence like no one else. Garbo was aware Broman made extensive notes after every conversation, and she told him that after her death he could publish as much as he liked. She revealed intimate details about her Swedish childhood, her early movies, her rise to stardom and her loathing of Hollywood. Garbo's friends provided many previously unpublished photographs (and a few letters) - resulting in this, the closest thing to an autobiography of Greta Garbo. Includes complete filmography (silent & sound). As packed books weighs 1¼kgs (3lbs), slightly-higher-than-usual shipping costs may apply (email us your location, we'll quote first). Approximately 150 b&w photographs. Inscription to previous owner on half-title page. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket.

Hardcover, 6¼" x 9½", with dust jacket 408 pages At 2.34pm on Friday, 22 June 1979 the jurors in what had been billed as 'The Trial of the Century' filed into Number One Court at the Old Bailey to deliver their verdict on the Rt. Hon. Jeremony Thorpe, Privy Counsellor, the former MP for North Devon and ex-leader of the Liberal Party. For thirty days the nine men and three women of the jury had listened, open-mouthed, like the rest of the country, as prosecution lawyers tried to prove that Thorpe and three other men had recruited an airline pilot named Andrew Newton to kill Norman Scott, a former male model who claimed that he had once been Thorpe's lover. This is a story of lies, hypocrisy, betrayal and cover-ups. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, barcode etc. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket.

hardcover, 10¼" x 10½", with dust jacket 192 pages This attractively-produced, reappraisal of James Dean goes beyond the legend to portray the real man behind the 'pin-up' image, and features 170 photographs, many of which have never been published before - a dozen in color. Author Hoskyns makes Dean come alive as no other writer has been able to do, revitallizing the shallow cardboard figure portrayed by the media, and breaking away from the single-minded emphasis on his good looks and photographic charm. Minor wear to top edge of jacket. AS NEW book in AS NEW unclipped dust jacket.

hardcover, 8½" x 10½", with dust jacket 184 pages Thomas Hine calls the designs of the period 1954 - 64 "Populuxe" - populism and popularity and luxury, with a totally unnecessary 'e' to give it a little class; the word itself is as synthetic as the world it denotes. By examining the remarkable objects of this time and the life they represent, Hine takes us on an instructional, entertaining tour of this rather pecular Golden Age (tailfins, TV dinners, Barbie dolls and fallout shelters). Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, barcode. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket.
