About This Item
New York: Warner Books. Fine in Near Fine dj. 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. [nice tight clean copy, no discernible wear; jacket shows the slightest bit of surface rubbing]. (B&W photographs) INSCRIBED briefly ("[something] for writers!") and SIGNED ("Swanie") by the author on the ffep. "A literary and Hollywood memoir," by the legendary "Swanie," the Hollywood-based literary agent whose roster of clients, at one time or another, included just about anybody who was anybody in American literature (and screenwriting) from the 1930s through the 1950s -- among them F. Scott Fitzgerald, John O'Hara, Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, William Faulkner, Steve Fisher, and Elmore Leonard (who contributed the Introduction). Signed copies are unsurprisingly uncommon: Swanson was nearly 90 when the book was published, and died just a couple of years later. Signed by Author .
