5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Great Movie Books!, February 8, 2007
This is a wonderfully written and beautifully produced book about the movies. Specifically Hollywood movies that David O. Selznick was involved in making. The photographs are beautiful and it sits well on a coffee table. Just don't let anyone spill on it! I love my book and received it for Christmas years ago. I still cherish it and look at it from time to time. Of course, I'm a Gone With The Wind lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scores on two counts, as a biography and a pictorial treasury, November 3, 2008
By Joseph A. Admire (Manassas, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Anyone who follows classic movies seriously knows who David O. Selznick was - the genius behind "Gone With the Wind" and many other immortal films. Both as a senior honcho at MGM (he was married for many years to Louis B. Mayer's daughter before moving on to actress Jennifer Jones) and as an independent producer, he was truly one of the towering figures of Hollywood's "Golden Age". Ronald Haver has done a superb job of not only writing a biography of Selznick (not only in words, but in images as well), but in assembling a breathtaking collection of photographs and images of the master's works. As other reviewers have suggested, the first edition of this book (which I'm fortunate enough to own) is the one for collectors to get because of its superior production values, but _any_ edition of this book is well worth getting. A key reference work on the height of the "studio era" and a first-rate coffee-table book.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE GLORY YEARS, March 12, 2008
RON HAVER PUT TOGETHER ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS ON THE GOLDEN YEARS OF HOLLYWOOD, WITH THIS BOOK ON DAVID O SELZNICK'S HOLLYWOOD FILMS. ESPECIALLY THE FIRST EDITION, WHICH HAS LARGE FOLD OUT PAGES FROM THE MOTION PICTURE KING KONG, WITH THE IMPRINTS MADE FROM THE ORIGINAL PRESSES THAT WERE ORIGINALLY USED FOR THE FILM IN 1933. THIS WAS SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PRINTING PROJECT, THE BOOK INITIALLY SOLD FOR $85.00 IN THE EARLY 1980'S. AS THE HIGH COST MADE FOR LOW SALES, THE PRODUCTION VALUES WERE DROPPED FOR LATER EDITIONS OF THIS BOOK, AND DID NOT UTILIZE THE ORIGINAL PLATES USED IN THE FIRST EDITION, AND DID NOT FOLD OUT FROM THE BOOK. THE LATER EDITIONS ONLY USED ONE PAGE FOR WHAT THE ORIGINAL EDITION USED A LARGE FOLD OUT DOUBLE THE SIZE OF WHAT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL PRINTING. SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS BOOK IN ALL ITS' GLORY, LOOK FOR THE VERY FIRST EDITION, AS IT IS A MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE PRINTING.
