Berkeley CA: University of California Press. Near Fine. (c.1988). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jackets, as issued) [both volumes virtually as-new, with only the slightest traces of handling wear, internally completely unmarked]. Compilation of credit data on 5,189 feature films (defined as films four reels or more in length) from the decade that saw the birth of the feature film. The first volume of this massive, ongoing, indispensible reference work to be completed after the resuscitation of the Catalog project in the mid-80s, it in many ways a map (or a tour guide) through a vanished land, since between 80% and 90% of the films documented herein no longer exist in any form.

Extensive, exhaustive, indispensible compilation of data on 5,525 feature films produced in the U.S. from 1931 through 1940. This was the second publication to appear after the revival of the AFI Catalog project (which had been moribund from the mid-70s through the mid-80s), and its superiority to the volumes on the 1960s and the 1920s (the first two produced, when the project was just getting under way in the early 1970s) reflects several… Read More
