Agnew, Frances, MOTION PICTURE ACTING: HOW TO PREPARE FOR PHOTOPLAYING, WHAT QUALIFICATIONS ARE NECESSARY, HOW TO SECURE AN ENGAGEMENT, SALARIES PAID TO PHOTOPLAYERS.
New York: Reliance Newspaper Syndicate, 1913. 1st edition. Bound in pumpkin-colored cloth covered boards. Ti Covers are soiled...more on rear. Spine is darkened. Former owner's signature and date, "June 1, 1917" on front, blank end paper, else Contents are Very Good. The book is tight and probably cleanable. Overall Good+ to Very good copy. 101 pages. 7 1/2 x 5 1/4.
Illustrated with vintage black-and-white photographic portraits and movie stills. This is a very scarce, very early book about motion picture acting. The actors (male and female) shown in the photos are some of the early pioneers in the industry. Most of their names were not known to us, but certainly would be to any movie historian or collector. Particularly interesting is Chapter VI, "Salaries of Motion Picture Players. Beginner's receive $2.50 to $10.00 per day. "The weekly salaries of motion picture artists in the regular stock companies range from $35.00 to $60.00 for minor players, and from $75.00 to $250.00--and even morein exceptional cases--for the leads and stars." My how times have changed. This is just a sample of the fascinating information in this book.

Ashton, Ralph, editor. TARKINE.
Allen and Unwine, 2004. Hardbound with an illustrated dust jacket. New and still encased in the Publisher's shrink wrap and therefore we can't provide any additional detailed information. Slightly oblong, 11 3/4 x 12 1/2.
Captured by Tasmania's most celebrated photographers, this is the Tarkine rainforest in all its timeless glory. Over a hundred awe-inspiring shots of this truly haunting landscape - from the most delicate and detailed of subjects to sweeping aerial views - each accompanied by brief inspirational passages from leading local writers. (ISBN: 1741143543) The Tarkine is one of the largest temperate rainforests on Earth, covering an area of 4500 square kilometres in Tasmania's north-west. This vast expanse is a wilderness wonderland of wild rivers, dramatic coastal heathlands, button grass plains, bare mountains, ancient Huon pines, giant eucalypts and myrtles and extraordinary horizontal scrub. It is home to rare and endangered birds - like the orange-bellied parrot and the white goshawk - and countless animals such as the eastern pygmy possum. For thirty thousand years, until late in the nineteenth century, the Tarkine was also home to the Tarkiner people - their middens can still be found along the rugged coast. But all this is under threat from human activities which imperil its very existence. Tarkine is a remarkable record of this landscape and a reminder that it is the responsibility of us all to protect this unique place.
