"The Christopher Reeve Scrapbook" by Margery Steinberg - 1st PRINT Paperback - Published in 1981 by Tempo Books - 141 pages (with 16 pages of great black & white photos) - Very good condition. Published 14 years before the horrific accident which left him a quadriplegic, this book is an unauthorized look at the life of Christopher Reeve, the actor best known for his portrayal of Superman. The book chronicles Reeve’s journey from a modest acting start — beginning on stage and in radio/TV soap operas — to becoming one of the most celebrated and charismatic actors of the decade. The book provides details on how he entered acting, the opportunities that led to his breakthrough role, and the transition from stage and radio to film, insights into Reeve’s routines, professional challenges, and personal habits, how he actively sought to break free from being typecast as Superman, exploring other roles and projects and much more. There is a light 1" long light brown stain on the bottom of the front cover at the spine (see the scan), and this had been a library book so it has the usual library stamp and sticker on the title page, but, as you can see, this book is still in very nice condition. No collection of Christopher Reeve or Superman items is complete without this great book. Check out the scan for the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out; this book is long out of print! All previous buyers of my entertainment books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please check my listings. The book will be sent via Media mail shipping in the USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items.
