Buster Keaton: A Bio-Bibliography

(no dust jacket, as issued) [nice clean as-new copy, with no discernible wear]. (Popular Culture Bio-Bibliographies) Series (B&W photographs) An excellent reference resource for the life and career of the great comic filmmaker. Contents: Biography; The Art of Buster Keaton; Interviews; Bibliographical Essay; Bibliographical Checklist of Buster Keaton Sources; Filmography; Chronological Biography. Although now dated in light of the large amount of additional Keaton scholarship since the book was published, it's still valuable for its excellent filmography, and especially for the "Bibliographical Essay," which takes up 65 of the book's 245 pages, and presents detailed and perceptive commentary on the only two Keaton biographies in print at the time, Rudi Blesh's "Keaton" and Tom Dardis's "Keaton: The Man Who Wouldn't Lie Down," as well as Keaton's own autobiography, "My Wonderful World of Slapstick." 65 of 245
