Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Illustrated with photographs of the original productions of the plays; also featuring woodcuts by J.J. Lankes and Mary De B. Graves (illustrator). 1924 date to copyright page, but no date to title page, so this is a later printing -- possibly as late as the 1930s. First known appearance in a book by Thomas Clayton Wolfe (following the separate publication of his "Crisis in Industry") in the form of his play "The Return of Buck Gavin / The Tragedy of a Mountain Outlaw." (Wolfe played the lead in the 1919 first stage production -- the glossy photo at the play's start here depicts a bearded Wolfe as the title character.) Features four other plays, seven other glossy photos and two woodcuts by J.J. Lankes and another by Mary De B. Graves. 173 pp. Reduced from $30.

Here is "The Writer's Book : Practical Advice by Experts in Every Field of Writing" . Published by Barnes & Noble, the book was Presented by the Author's Guild and Edited by Helen Hull. This is 1969 10th Printing. From the cover blurb: "This book is a comprehensive and imaginative collection of essays on every phase of the writer's art and craft: forty noted authors discuss the making and marketing of the novel, short story, poem, magazine article, the TV and Film Play. Here is practical professional advice on problems of characterization, style, conflict, and plot for everyone who wants to write. This book was issued well before the internet, and exhibits nothing remotely akin to the modes necessary for writing today. Thus it should prove fascinating for anyone interested in such near-past thinking. We've provided two scans of the Table of Contents, which is fairly lengthy, so view it carefully.
