Ample Annie.
THE BARE FACTS: MY LIFE AS A STRIPPER.
Toronto: Key Porter 1988. 177 pp 8 3/4" H. B&w photographs. "She was notorious for taking off her clothes. Movies magazines and TV shows and fame as 'the girl with the million dollar chest' after her breasts were insured by Lloyds of London helped create her very successful career as celebrity stripper 'Annie Ample'. But behind all the hype was a real person. Annie looks back candidly on her turbulent childhood in a small town in California and her showbiz start as a 'go-go' dancer in a local club. 'Annie Ample' was the ingenuous character she devised to exploit the sex industry rather than be exploited by it. Whether she is recalling her narrow escapes from lascivious film producers her famous plastic surgery her wild nights with the jet set or the stampede of the paparazzi when she went sunbathing at Cannes Annie's irrepressible sense of humor and earthy revelations make her story a compelling read even when it borders on the tragic." Minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and at top of front flap. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Key Porter Hardcover

THE ROYAL ALEXANDRA THEATRE: A CELEBRATION OF 100 YEARS.
Toronto: McArthur 2007. 346 pp 11 1/4" H. Profusely illustrated in colour b&w and sepiatone with photographs/reproductions. "It was one of those grand civic gestures so loved by the aristocracy of the Gilded Age: a gift to Toronto meant to call the world's attention to its blossoming as a great city. The giver was Cawthra Mulock 'the boy millionaire' one of the wealthiest men in Canada. The gift was the Royal Alexandra a magnificent new theatre built - with no regard to cost - to equal the most splendid houses of London Paris and New York. It was to be the lodestar of North American theatres attracting the finest performers and the very best in dramatic art to a city that still smarted under the nickname 'Hogtown'. If Cawthra Mulock had known what obstacles lay in the way he might never have broken ground. He could not have foreseen the cut-throat rivals who would seek to bankrupt him; nor the two World Wars; nor the coming of the movies radio and television; nor the Great Depression that would close every other theatre in the country. This book tells the story of a Canadian national landmark and beloved Toronto institution and of the remarkable dogged and devoted champions - from Mulock to Mirvish - who have kept it alive thriving and triumphant over 100 years." Small crease at top edge of pages 193 to 204. light waviness to edges og text block very light wrinking at bottom of spine. Dust jacket very minor edge wrinkling very minor rubbing very soft wrinkle on rear panel. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Edward Burtynsky photographer. McArthur Hardcover
