Date Sold 3/18/2012Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 8" x 10 3/4" [20 x 27 cm]; 130 pages) (Learn More) How I Broke Into the Movies, the 1928 Hal C. Herman illustrated biographical book ("By sixty famous screen stars") detailing how Hollywood stars of the day began their careers in the movies (there is one page for each of the stars with a high quality full-page black & white image of that star facing it. Some of the stars include Buster Keaton, Lon Chaney Sr., Al Jolson, Gary Cooper, Gloria Swanson, Charlie Chaplin, Clara Bow, Douglas Fairbanks, William Boyd [Hopalong Cassidy], Greta Garbo, Mary Pickford, Joan Crawford, John Gilbert, and more!). It's really amazing that just about everyone who was a giant star in 1928 STAYED a giant star well into the 1930s! Note that this book had an unusual publishing history! It was first published in an over-sized softcover edition in 1928, and then it was reprinted in 1930 in a smaller hardcover edition (it is very unusual that the softcover edition came first!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have pictured the front cover, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that on all hardcover books, the buyer must pay the actual cost of shipping (but if you solely buy books, or if you want the books shipped separately, they can be shipped in the U.S. only via "Media Mail", which is much less expensive than Priority Mail; unfortunately, there is no similar service outside the U.S. to Media Mail). So bear the above in mind before placing a bid on this book. Condition: good to very good. There is some faint staining on the covers. Learn More about condition grades
