Excerpt from Movie Cavalcade: The Story of the Cinema, Its Stars, Studios and Producers
Movie cavalcade has reversed this process, however. Starting life as the first really cheap history of the cinema, in paper cover, at 6d., it rapidly exhausted two large editions. Not only that; both I and the publisher have been worried ever since by a constant stream of requests for copies.
Spurred on by these letters and by verbal pleas for a more durable stiff-bound edition, I approached the publisher with'a view to producing a small, special, illustrated library edition, at a price Which would cover these extra refinements.
