COLLECTED WORKS OF PADDY CHAYEFSKY The Screenplays Softcover Book 1st Printing

Description: A collection of three screenplays by this brilliant writer: Marty (winner of the Academy Award), The Goddess and The Americanization of Emily. From Library Journal Applause Books has done an enormous service in compiling this set of Chayefsky's work, most of which has been long out of print. Two volumes are devoted to his screenplays, including the film classics Marty (1955), The Goddess (1958), Network (1976), and The Hospital (1971). The third volume contains his five stage plays, including the powerful The Passion of Josef D. (1964) and the final volume of his six television plays. Original casts are listed with each work. And the stage-play volume includes a poignant and informative foreword by Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Chayefsky's friend for 22 years. Just to have the film and television versions of Marty available for comparison is worth the price of admission for libraries supporting television, film, and drama programs. This set is highly recommended for academic and large public libraries or any library serving a performing arts community. -Susan L. Peters, Emory Univ., Atlanta ___________ See the photos for all the details, the book pictured in the photos is the exact one that you will receive, no stock photos here! eBay can be frustrating when it comes to buying books as most sellers just use a stock image of the cover, as a book lover myself I like to know exactly what I am getting, especially the condition so I take photos of the book for all of my book listings. So check out the images zoom in for the condition and the details and please message me if you have any questions at all, I'm happy to help. Also this book is from a smoke-free home and smoke free environment. One quick note that I don't think you can see in the photos is the last few pages of the book in the back cover look like they have had a little bit of humidity on them. They don't look as if they were wet, it doesn't look or feel like water damage there are no stains, but the last few pages are just a tiny bit wavy as if it was next to some humidity. I took a few photos of it, and it is barely noticeable both in the photos and in person but I did feel a little bit while handling it so I figured it was best to make a note of it. The book is still like new and I'm not sure it has even yet been read. If you have any additional questions please send me a message. Thanks! Shipping is USA only and this book will be shipped via USPS Media Mail. The cost of USPS Media Mail shipping is based on the total weight of the package and is not based on distance. The cost is automatically calculated when you are logged into your eBay account. The postage rate/amount is set by USPS, UPS, FedEx etc. I take very good care in shipping the few items I sell safely and quickly, and I take pride in providing excellent service, as I'm mainly a buyer here who buys random stuff (sometimes too) impulsively on eBay and I know what it's like to have a seller that doesn't pack something well, or doesn't communicate, or waits a week or more to ship something you've purchased. So I try to give the excellent communication and service that I like to receive as a buyer. And while this isn't a job for me, and I don't sell a ton of items, I've has this eBay account since February 2000 and I do take it very seriously and will make sure your item has lots of photos, is described very truthfully and accurately, is packed well, and shipped fast and safely. I'm happy to add signature confirmation, or any other service (at your cost, in most cases) if you have any problems with package delivery at your home or apartment. Please contact me ahead of time when possible, I'll get a cost for it and I'll be happy to set that up for you. Lastly, I'm pretty open to offers, so if it's an option, send one! Or, put it on your watched items list and I'll send you an offe
