This is a vintage book called The New Biographical Dictionary of Film written by David Thomson.
This vintage book is in great shape. From the red and light blue book cover, to the individual pages of this interesting book, everything is in great quality. The pages inside don't seem to have any tears or rips on them. When you take off the eye catching book cover, the book looks excellent. About 963 of these pages in this book are filled with information about The New Biographical Dictionary of Fim.
About the book -In all, the book includes more than 1300 entries, some of them just a sharp paragraph, some of them several thousand words long. In addition to the new “musts,” Thomson has added key figures from film history–lively anatomies of Graham Greene, Eddie Cantor, Pauline Kael, Abbott and Costello, Noël Coward, Hoagy Carmichael, Dorothy Gish, Rin Tin Tin, and more. Here is a great, rare book, one that encompasses the chaos of art, entertainment, money, vulgarity, and nonsense that we call the movies. Personal, opinionated, funny, daring, provocative, and passionate, it is the one book that every filmmaker and film buff must own. Time Out named it one of the ten best books of the 1990s.
