Frank Butler Guest Book from St. Malo
The book contains 87 greetings from well over a hundred guests on the versos of 24 leaves and 3 rectos. The actor Roert Young wrote a heartfelt thank you in 1936, fresh from his success in the 1935 movie "Vagabond Lady," with script by Frank Butler. The director, screenwriter, and producer Leo McCarey left a droll verse in 1937; he directed the Harold Lloyd comedy "The Milky Way"; Frank Butler was one of three writers credited for that script. Then, in 1944, McCarey produced and directed the Bing Crosby movie "Going My Way," which won seven Oscars, including a shared one for Frank Butler, co-writer of the script. The writer, producer, and studio head Dore Schary and his wife Miriam left a witty note, obviously the result of a long friendship. The artist and decorator Jack Schurch filled a full page with a drawing in pastel. A list of all the inscriptions with supporting documentation, where available, accompanies the volume.

The Quest for Frank Wild
"The Quest for Frank Wild tells the gripping story of one woman's determination to unravel the truth of the final years of Frank Wild, one of the greatest British Edwardian Polar explorers of all time. Frank Wild, Sir Ernest Shackleton's closest friend and right hand man was the only explorer to serve on five expeditions to the Antarctic during the Heroic Age. The last sixteen years of his life were spent in South Africa, supposedly in penury, unable to come to terms with Ernest Shackleton's death and forgotten by his fellowmen. He died suddenly in the small mining town of Klerksdorp near Johannesburg. The little that was known of his later life in South Africa has been maligned by hearsay and sensational journalism and most tragically of all, no-one knew where he was buried. An outstanding man lost in life and in death. Angie Butler's seven year journey finally uncovers an extraordinary untold story and by doing so fulfils Wild's wish to have his memoirs published. The memoirs stand alone as a unique account of Edwardian Polar exploration"--page [4] of cover.

Mr. S
"Mr. S: My Life with Frank Sinatra, by former valet-aide George Jacobs with an oh-so-able assist by William Stadiem, has at least five quotable and shocking remarks about the famous on every page. The fifteen years Jacobs toiled for Frank produces a classic of its genre -- a gold-star gossip-lover's dream.... "The rest is showbiz history as it was, and only Ava Gardner, Humphrey Bogart, and Betty Bacall are spared. Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Juliet Prowse, Noel Coward, Cole Porter, Mia Farrow, Elvis Presley, Swifty Lazar, Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, Sammy Davis Jr., Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Jimmy van Heusen, Edie Goetz, Peter Lawford, and all of the Kennedys come in for heaping portions of 'deep dish,' served hot. Sordid, trashy, funny, and so rat-a-tat with its smart inside info and hip instant analysis that some of it seems too good to be true....
