They have one copy and it's checked in, which is not much help since the incompetent idiots who run the place seem to have no intention, or even any desire, to reopen. I read a very favorable review of a new book on basically the same subject, although I think it was exclusively concerned with German filmmakers. Pretty sure the review was in The New Yorker. I'll plow through some recent issues and see if I can find it.MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12515927050827397245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-18593685993361271122020-06-26T12:04:12.454-04:002020-06-26T12:04:12.454-04:00So true.

I had a good friend years ago who often loaned me books and VHS tapes (this in the '80s, mostly). He smoked like a fiend (it contributed mightily to his death at 52) and his books did tend to smell of it.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-76327690380067946502020-06-26T11:13:56.214-04:002020-06-26T11:13:56.214-04:00I bought this for more than that through a private...I bought this for more than that through a private site on amazon. It is a little warped but easily readable.

You can get a used copy via Amazon for $14,35 and up. I was able to get a copy through ABE for $6.75 including shipping.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-26436627292247133922020-06-26T08:31:54.196-04:002020-06-26T08:31:54.196-04:00It is one of the best because he is a trained hist...It is one of the best because he is a trained historian and he is not just looking for gossipy information.
