Additional Dialogue: Letters of Dalton Trumbo, 1942-1962 [*SIGNED*]

New York: M. Evans and Company, Inc.. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1970). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [some discoloration to front endpapers from laid-in newspaper clippings, minor soiling to bottom of text block, slight fading to cloth at top of spine; jacket shows some modest surface- and edgewear, a little dog-earing at base of spine, short closed tear at bottom of rear panel, one teensy-tiny nick at top right corner of front panel, spine a bit color-shifted]. SIGNED boldly by Trumbo (no inscription) on the half-title page. Twenty years' worth of letters from the most famous of the blacklisted Hollywood writers to his family, fellow writers, business associates, friends and enemies. Whatever one's estimation of Trumbo -- politically, or as a screenwriter, or as a human being -- it's an undeniable fact that he was a terrific letter-writer, as this volume amply demonstrates. (And they are all his letters: no replies or exchanges of correspondence. It's all Trumbo, all the time.) ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** Signed by Author .
