The Ninth Annual American Film Institute Life Achievement Award Honoring Fred Astaire, April 10, 1981

[Washington DC]: The American Film Institute. Very Good. 1981. Stapled wraps. [modestly worn, with some light scuffing/scraping on the front cover; the "Guest Seating" insert has a large piece torn out of the upper right corner of the front cover (no loss of content)]. (B&W photographs) Nice program/tribute book, largely photographic; also includes short essays by Arlene Croce, John Green, Marcelle Clements, and Adolph Green, plus a filmography. NOTE that this is the silver-covered edition, indicating that it was actually the property of someone who attended the event (as opposed to the "souvenir" editions which AFI also produced for distribution/sale to its members, which had pictorial covers). As further evidence that this copy belonged to an attendee, it contains the 8-page "Guest Seating" insert, which lists everybody in attendance, with their table numbers. (This copy does, however, lack the 8-page beige-stock insert noted by at least one other bookseller.) .
