JOAN CRAWFORD FILM BOOK - WARMLY SIGNED & INSCRIBED Illustrated 1st Edition 1968
THE FILMS OF JOAN CRAWFORD. By Lawrence J. Quirk. A Lavishly Illustrated Filmography of the Great American Actress JOAN CRAWFORD. WARMLY SIGNED and INSCRIBED by JOAN CRAWFORD on a piece of HER PERSONAL. PRINTED STATIONERY/ NOTE-PAPER. Happy Birthday/ Pierre/ with love/ Joan” The note-paper is 4.25” x 5.25” It is light green and printed at the top in yellow and black. It is Inscribed and Signed by Crawford in blue ink. It is quite lovely. The note-paper was attached to the front free-endpaper by a couple of 3/4” x 3/4” stamp collector type hinge mounts. The mounts are no longer present. But they have left their stain on the front free-endpaper and a matching stain to the blank backside of the Signed Note-Paper. The mounts did no damage, other than leaving their age mark. The signed stationery/ note-paper is now laid-in loosely. Also laid-in ... morethe book is an unrelated note-card from the Consulate General of Switzerland to“Pierre” Dated 7.3.74. It is hand-written in German. I believe it has nothing to do with the Crawford book, but just happens to be laid-in this book. The book came from the estate of PIERRE RHEIN and PATRICIA MITAU. Who had three children all of whom took their father’s last name. Pierre Rhein was born in Switzerland. Patricia Mitau was born in San Francisco. Her mother was Marjorie Fleishhacker whose father was Herbert Fleishhacker, the famous Banker, Financier, Early California Baseball Team Owner, Bon Vivant, and Philanthropist. The Fleishhacker family is a very well-known San Francisco family. Any connection Pierre Rhein had with Joan Crawford might have come from the acquaintances of the family of his partner, Patricia Mitau, but I don’t really know. Hardcover Book in Dustjacket. 9” x 11” 222 pages. Illustrated throughout with b&w photographs from Crawford’s films. Published by Citadel Press, New York, 1968. First Edition, so stated.

You can feel it separating from the spine(all pages still intact) The illustrations inside are phenomenal and are unaffected. There is a small signature from someone in the top left of the book, however the interesting part about this auction is that Rube Allyn signed it himself! The book belonged to a personal friend of his at one point according to the paragraph he hand wrote on the inside of the book. It reads like this. To Jim and Helen Rochester, a grand team of thoroughbreds who by their good judgement and success in the world of outdoor sports will always be an inspiration to the rest of us.

My father was an antique collector and this was one of the pieces he was particularly fond of. A must have for any collector of books, Rube Allyn, Fish, or historic Florida.
