A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 6 1/2" x 9 1/4" [17 x 23 cm]; 1096 pages) (Learn More) 1955 Motion Picture and Television Almanac, the 1955 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 the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Condition: very good to fine. Other than some light scuffing on the front cover, the book is in REALLY nice condition. Because this is a big heavy book that was normally used a great deal, many times books like this are found in lesser condition or much lesser condition, but this one appears to be barely used!
