A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 7 1/4" x 10" [18 x 25 cm]; 295 pages) (Learn More) Movie Lot to Beachhead ("The Motion Picture Goes to War and Prepares for the Future by the Editors of Look"), the 1945 illustrated historical book (with preface by Robert St. John) that explores how Hollywood actors, actress, cameramen and studios were involved in the World War II (WWII) war efforts. What is really cool about this book is that it was published even before World War II was finished (in January of 1945), and therefore its information is certainly far more accurate and reliable than books about World War II that were published decades later. Note that almost every page has images on it (not surprising since it was from Look Magazine, which, like Life, was a picture magazine, and yet there is a lot of text underneath the pictures!) Important Added Info: Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that we are currently auctioning 227 different movie hardcover books (actually, there are more than this, because there are a few that contain more than one book). This is a pretty amazing collection! Almost all of them "coffee table books", meaning that they are oversized, and contain a lot of illustrations (sometimes with many color ones), and most have lavish bindings and cool full-color dust jackets! Many of these sold for $25 to $50 (or more) when they were first published, and many are very difficult to locate today! Yet, we are auctioning all of these with no reserve and a $1 start price, so there may be many bargains to be had, even on some really scarce books, some of which likely contain information that can be found nowhere else. Please bear in mind that some of these books are written in another language, but the ones we have included are heavily illustrated, so they are still of interest even if you don't speak that language. Finally, note that we will charge the actual cost of shipping these books to the purchasers. In the U.S., we can send them via "book rate", but outside the U.S., there is no longer any kind of "surface mail", so bear the shipping expense in mind BEFORE placing bids on these books (most of them weight at least a couple of pounds, and there are quite a few of them that weigh 4 or 5 pounds each!). Condition: good to very good. There is staining on the covers, but the interior pages are in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
