"Novelization by Ben Bova based on a script by George Lucas and Walter Murch for the film directed by Lucas. In an unpleasant anti-utopia of the future the eponymous hero yes it's one of those societies in which everyone is known by a number attempts to find freedom. Lucas's debut film was too grim to be popular but it had its merits despite a fundamental lack of originality." - Pringle The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction second edition pp. 372-3. "I did the novelization of George's first movie and he's a nice kid. He was very professional but he held most of the story in his head and didn't bother to show it on the screen. My job as novelist was to explain why these people were doing these things." - Ben Bova interviewed by Stan Nicholls in Interzone. Accompanied by the 10-page 11x13 inch press book for the film Lucas's first feature-length movie. Reginald 01691. Sargent British and American Utopian Literature 1516-1985 p. 330.

HECHT Ben
Erik Dorn
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons 1921. First Edition. Octavo 19cm. Cloth boards; dustjacket; 409pp. In Johnson's first binding of plum cloth. A very tight fresh copy with just a few small spots of discoloration to edges of text block; Near Fine. In an attractive example of the very scarce jacket lightly dusted overall and with a few brief nicks to extremities; Very Good. The jacket rear panel bears promotional blurbs from H.L. Mencken and Burton Rascoe. HANNA 1648. COAN p.106. A very pleasing copy of Hecht's first full-length book a semi-autobiographical novel portraying the rise of a young Chicago newspaper reporter. Despite its rather frank treatment of sexual themes the novel was widely praised upon publication and launched Hecht's long prolific career as a novelist journalist and Hollywood screenwriter. <br/><br/>Merle Johnson American First Editions 3rd ed notes three states of the binding: "1 yellow stamping on plum cloth; b orange on green; c maroon on green" and says that "state a is probably correct." As noted our copy is in the plum cloth; it is stamped in a color which could arguably be called deep yellow but appears in our view to be closer to orange. Since orange ink was used on a later state of the binding we will reluctantly settle on calling this an unrecorded early variant binding as likely to be "probably correct" as is Johnson's yellow-on-plum.
