eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result 6x074 MOTION PICTURE ALMANAC hardcover book '83 loaded with great movie information! Date Sold 5/21/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 6 1/4" x 9 1/4" [16 x 23 cm]; 656 pages) (Learn More) International Motion Picture Almanac of 1983. This is a hardback book that was the "reference book of the industry". In addition to many paid ads from top names in the industry, the book is a virtual "Who's Who" of Hollywood, with extensive one paragraph biographies of actors and all other studio personnel in 1983! The biographies give information that I doubt is easily obtainable anywhere else including birth place, height, hair color, eye color, weight, name of mate, top movies they were connected with, studio affiliation, etc! There are 656 pages, each crammed full with extremely tiny type! 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! Important Added Info: Note that in this set of auctions we are offering an amazing collection of 41 different yearbooks of this Motion Picture Almanac (the name was changed to include television in its later years). Each is offered in a separate auction. Also, we are auctioning a great collection of 28 Film Daily Yearbooks (and each of those is in its own auction). This is a rare opportunity to start a collection of these books, or to fill in missing years for those who have already been collecting them! Also 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. Condition: very good to fine.
