New York: Alfred A. Knopf. Fine in Near Fine dj. 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. 0679451153 . [nice tight clean copy, with no discernible wear to book; the jacket has some minor surface wear and some very slight wrinkling along the top of the rear panel]. INSCRIBED briefly ("To ________") and SIGNED by the author on the title page. The author "is at his incomparable best in this stunning collection of essays on Hollywood films -- their stars and the illusions they create. He explorres a sort of twilight zone where film actors and the characters they play become part of our reality, as living beings and as ghosts, residing on or buried beneath Mulholland Drive, or wandering among us. [The book] is rich in its understanding of Hollywood, laced with irony, thoroughly provocative and brilliantly creative." Signed by Author . (Inventory #: 24573)
