I went to my local second hand book store today and what did I find, but "Katharine Hepburn: A Celebration by Sheridan Morley". Does anyone else have it?
It's one of those A4 type sized books with GORGEOUS pictures inside! Some of which I personally haven't seen before (watch this space.. or maybe the 'photos' space as I'll make sure to scan and post them!).
I also picked up a copy of "The Making of The African Queen..."! It's inscribed with someone's name which is annoying, but it's a great read nonetheless.
I also found a great A4 type picture book called "Musicals" which has my other love on the inleaf cover (La Streisand).
AND I also picked up this program type small 4 page cardboard A5 book for Gone With The Wind which I can only presume was something they gave out as a program type thing when the movie came out at the cinemas. It's in mint condition, looks brand new except for the fact that you can tell it's old if you know what I mean. I don't know what to do with it, maybe sell it on eBay or something. I just thought it was cool. Impulse buy!
I love my local second hand book store. That was it for my adventure today..

You know who Sheridan Morley is? Its the son of Robert Morley aka Rose Sayers brother in The African Queen As I found the book years ago - was so excited - would have thought there would be some insider photos - but sadly there were not

I would have loved if there were some insider photos too. Oh well

Oh wow! I didn't know that important Morley fact! Sorry Dayna, I didn't even realise! But then again, that thread is sooo long and there was no way I was going through it to double check haha hopefully your scans turned out better than mine.. I don't know why some of them turned out all liney and such hmph! I'm so glad you two have the book as well. Do you remember, is there anything insightful enough in it to read? It's really a picture book in my opinion, but there are quite a bit of words and now that I know who this lady is, perhaps it's worth reading where I wouldn't have considered it before.... Jess

Haha it's ok Jess, you added more than I did from the book! Yeah the photo thread is SO long I don't blame you lol. I always thought of the book at just a picture book as well. I never really read anything in it. Might have some interesting stuff in it.
