Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. First Edition. [slight bumping to lower corners, faint foxing to top edge of text block; the jacket shows just a touch of wear at several corners, very light spotting along spine]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the verso of the title page: "To ____: / nice to talk / to you the other day. / Now you can read / all about what I did / when I visited the / old Hollywood. / Emery." Memoir by a long-time part-time journalist at the Charlotte (NC) News, who in his capacity as "a motion picture reviewer and columnist made more than 50 trips to Hollywood to interview the celebrities and watch them at work." The author's forays to the movie capital began in 1939 and continued into the 1970s; the book is quite anecdotal (most chapters are no more than 3-4 pages long), and seems about evenly divided between goings-on in Hollywood and back home in Charlotte (although almost all the photos are shots of the author with various movie stars).

CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: The Kolb Brothers, Ellsworth and Emory, established themselves as both photographers and adventurers at the Grand Canyon in 1902. Their photographs of visitors and lesser-known areas of the canyon supported their studio for many decades. They rafted the river, explored its canyons and out of the way places, taking photographs all the time. While Ellsworth retired to Los Angeles and died in 1960, Emory continued to live and sell photographs and tourist books until his death in 1976. This book is signed in March 1953 at Grand Canyon Arizona. All the copies of this book I've ever seen have been signed. I think that any unsigned copy would be rare in comparison. Nevertheless, a very nice copy of the new edition with the additional photographs; and a terrific tale of adventure.…
