Boston: Little Brown. [1970]. The uncorrected proof copy of the third collection of film reviews by the longtime film critic for The New Yorker; this proof has the working title of The Great Bastard Cross-fertilized Super-art. Kael invigorated film criticism unlike any previous reviewer, skewering pretension, extolling the value of entertainment, and praising popular culture. Self-consciously controversial, she delighted and infuriated, sometimes simultaneously, filmgoers, readers, and other critics. Her re... more information

(Burlingame): (Chrysalis West). 1965. Contains "Miracles, a Cinematic Romance" by Marcus. Laid in is a typed letter signed by Marcus to Pauline Kael inviting her to Acapulco and soliciting literary favor, by asking her help in getting an excerpt from his work-in-progress published.

London: Jonathan Cape. (1966). The uncorrected proof copy of the first British edition of her first book. Kael revolutionized film criticism with her opinionated, colloquial reviews, her wit, her enjoyment of popular culture, and her impatience with pretentiousness. A generation of admirers and imitators has never quite succeeded in matching the engaging informality and authority of Kael's reviewing voice. A bit of white out inside front cover and penciled name on flyleaf; light foxing; near fine in a v... more information
