A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 6 1/2" x 9 1/4" [17 x 23 cm]; 1015 pages) (Learn More) Motion Picture and Television Almanac, the 1952 Charles S. Aaronson reference book with information and statistics from all facets of the film industry. Included is the comprehensive list of actors and actresses and their credits. Also included are detailed lists of industry personnel and production companies as well as much information about distribution. Note that this yearbook was part of the series of Motion Picture Almanacs that were published starting in the 1920s (the earliest one we have seen is from 1929). In 1937, they added a second volume on non-U.S. movies, called "International Motion Picture Almanac". In 1952, they added coverage of television to the main volume, and the title became "Motion Picture and Television Almanac". In 1959, they split each volume into two, one book that focused solely on movies, and the other focused solely on television, and the titles reflected that. Finally, keeping up with the times, the television almanac became "Television and Video Almanac" in 1988! Also note that very clever poster dealers have used these yearbooks to find out exactly where there were movie theaters in their area (and the surrounding states) and they have contacted the former owners of those theaters (or their heirs), and have found many great finds of movie posters in that way! Of course, we can't guarantee that will work for YOU, but it sure seems worth a try! Important Added Info: Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Condition: very good. There is minor scuffing on the covers, but the book is generally in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
