A Vintage Softcover Book (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm]; 128 pages) (Learn More) Livingston's International Casting Directory, the 1931 illustrated book featuring images and information about available actors, writers, cinematographers and more. Casting directories were published from the 1930s on, and they would have listings of people looking for jobs in Hollywood, and they made their money by selling "featured ads" to people who wanted greater recognition! Very few of them have survived, surely because people who received them considered them like old newspapers, to be discarded after they were outdated. Important Added Info: Note that this casting directory has great ads for actors who were just on the verge of becoming top stars, but at this point, they were, for the most part, pretty much unknowns! Included are full-page ads for Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Atwill, Charles Coburn (billed with his wife as a team!), and Otto Kruger. What a wonderful group of soon-to-be stars! It is one of a wonderful collection of early "casting directories" we were consigned! We looked through each of these and selected the best ones (ones with listings for people who later became very famous), and those are listed individually in this set of auctions. The remaining ones, where we did not see famous people listed, will be listed in groups in our next bulk lot auction. After that, we will have no more of these extremely rare books! 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.
