Description
A Colorful Fragment:
Books By and About Errol Flynn
The quintessential swashbuckler, the larger than life, hell-raising movie star embodied all of his public image, and more. However, throughout Errol Flynn’s life ran a slender, but serious, thread of interest in writing, which produced several books—all of which are collected. Flynn’s first book, Beam Ends, brings prices in four figures.
Boris Pasternak’s Doctor Zhivago:
The First and Early Editions
The publication history of the most important Russian novel of the Twentieth century is alarmingly complicated. We present a chronology of the writing of the novel and the first and early editions in Italian, French, Russian and English.
Collecting A. I. Bezzerides
Although he has only four books to his credit in a career that spans well over half a century, Bezzerides is one of the best writers of his era. His first book, Long Haul, is a classic that deserves to be read along with the finest novels of Steinbeck.
An Ancient Pursuit Takes on New Value
A detailed financial analysis of the marketplace performance of the books we noted in 1991 as the most rapidly appreciating books of the 1980s. During the 1990s, the titles selected did better than inflation, bonds, the S&P 500, and even better than the NASDAQ during its heyday.
Books into Film
Doctor Zhivago, a novel by Boris Pasternak, a film by David Lean.
