Had a very good time at the show, actually. I actually sold some books (I only brought the memoir), sat next to Laura Freas, the widow of artist Kelly Freas, met some nice folks and my hour flew by, like a gazelle reading a lurid paperback, of which there were many. In fact, this show had more lurid paperbacks than in the past. I did manage to get one extraordinary item, a real find. Apparently other dealers either hadn't stopped at this particular table or it escaped their eye, for as soon as I got it I was suddenly the toast of the show, with dealers coming up to me asking to look at it - I probably could have doubled my money.
It was an original script for The Cincinnati Kid. With the original MGM cover. What makes it especially interesting and unique are the writer and director credits on that cover: Ring Lardner, Jr. and Sam Peckinpah. No one has ever actually seen a script with that cover - Peckinpah was fired a few days into filming and replaced by Norman Jewison. And Terry Southern and Charles Eastman did huge rewrites of the script. I haven't read this yet, so have no idea how different it is, but there are many pencil notations with line changes and such, which could be in any number of hands - perhaps it will become obvious as I read and study what and how those changes occur.
