Stanley Kubrick and the Movies |

Before becoming the critically acclaimed filmmaker responsible for such iconic films as Dr. Strangelove and The Shining, Stanley Kubrick spent five years as a photographer for Look magazine. The Bronx native joined the staff in 1945, when he was only 17 years old, and shot humanist slice-of-life features that celebrated and exposed New York City and its inhabitants. This collection reveals the keen and evocative vision of a burgeoning creative genius in a range of feature stories and images, from everyday folk at the laundromat to a day in the life of a debutante, from a trip to the circus to Columbia University. Taschen, 2023. ...More. Item Code: STAKPH Hard Cover, 8x10, 326pg, Black & White $40.00 |

ALSO AVAILABLE ALICE GUY First Lady of Film Closeout Price! Nearly 400 pages! Recommended. By José-Louis Bocquet. Art by Catel Muller. The inspiring story of Alice Guy, the first female movie director in film history, chronicles her contribution to the birth of cinema in France in the late 19th century. In 1895 the Lumière brothers invented the cinematograph. Less than a year later, 23-year-old Alice Guy made The Cabbage Fairy, a 60-second movie, for Léon Gaumont, and would go on to direct more than 300 films before 1922. Her life is a shadow history of early cinema, the chronicle of an art form coming into its own. A free and independent woman who rubbed shoulders with masters such as Georges Méliès and the Lumières, she was the first to define the professions of screenwriter and producer. SelfMadeHero, 2022....More. Item Code: ALIGU Soft Cover, 7x9, 400pg, b&w |

Almost Gone – Signed Art Adams We had 75 signed plates to go with our softcover copies; we are now down to the last 25 as I write this. After that, softcover copies will ship without the bonus signed 7x10 plate! [ARTAA. $40]. The hardcover is sold out. |

Our initial order came in short and it’s backordered from our supplier, which is never a good sign. I’ve chosen not to list this as a regular new item since we’re not sure if we’ll see more copies. After filling advance orders, we have just two as I write this [NEAV01. $40]. We'll go ahead and take backorders until we know more, so cross your fingers. We'll officially list it if and when we get more. |
Order Confirmation We’re still cleaning up our new software system, which for a time was NOT sending out shipping confirmations to you. Everything has been shipped promptly, but we are still mailing out confirmations to give closure on the items. All orders from now on will get proper shipping confirmation the day the packages are sent. I haven’t been able to reorder books on my regular schedule, so you may see more titles than normal on backorder for another few weeks. I’ll be catching this up as soon as humanly possible. Thanks for your patience while we’re working through our updated software bugs. ~Bud |
