This sale is for a Limited Signed Presentation Copy First Editionvolume of \"Lord John Film Festival.\" Published in 2006 although some signatures had been collected by Herb Yellin previously (this project was over many years). Has many photos of the signed posters Herb Yellin had collected himself, and essays by industry luminaries. Herb Yellin was a prolific poster collector (as a hobby) and a film buff, not to mention a publisher of countless rare and limited books through the Lord John Press and other publishers.
This copy was from the estate of Herb Yellin himself (check my other listings for other books from the estate). To my knowledge ONLY the very rare Presentation Copies have the One Flew Over the Cuckoo\'s Nest cover labels; other copies (even those with more signatures) had The Godfather. HAND SIGNED by 34 writers, actors, etc. or friends of Herb Yellin like President Gerald Ford (who he\'d published a few books for); these are **authentic signatures** on the front and rear endpapers, not the signatures shown in the posterillustrations which are photos of Yellin\'s personal movie poster collection.
