Campaign poster book for the film "Inherit the Wind ." First edition.

Best.-Nr. 51-7036Hollywood: United Artists 1960. . 8 pp. 45.8x33.8 cm 18x13¼". Moderate wear edges toned."The film’s title as noted in the picture comes from the Biblical passage of Proverbs 11:29: “He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.” Although the picture was copyrighted twice by Lomitas Productions Inc. the first copyright dated 2 Sep 1960 under number LP17779 lists the production company as Lomitas Productions Germany and was for a 16mm version. This version was probably shown at the film's premiere at the Berlin Film Festival on 25 Jun 1960. The second copyright also held by Lomitas Productions Inc. and for a 35mm version was registerd on 12 Nov 1960 under number LP17367 and the company is listed by the copyright records only as Lomitas Productions. .Director Stanley Kramer stated in a Nov 1959 NYT article that he considered Inherit the Wind the third in his trilogy of socially provocative films beginning with The Defiant Ones 1958 see above and On the Beach 1959 see below. The film is based on the play Inherit the Wind which was inspired by the 1925 “Scopes Monkey Trial” in Dayton TN. During that trial then dubbed “The Trial of the Century” Chicago labor lawyer Clarence Darrow 1857—1938 defended teacher John T. Scopes 1900—1970. Scopes was accused of propounding Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in defiance of Tennessee’s Butler Law which prohibited the teaching of any theory other than creationism. The prosecution was led by fundamentalist politician William Jennings Bryan 1860—1925 who was known as “The Great Commoner.” Bryan ran for United States President three times in 1896 1900 and 1908 and served as Secretary of State from 1913--1915. Unlike as depicted in the film Bryan died not on the day the trial ended but five days later of complications from diabetes. Another famous figure represented in the play and film versions of the story was H. L. Mencken 1880—1956 a journalist celebrated for his clever wit and iconoclastic liberalism. In the play and film the names of the major characters are changed from Clarence Darrow to Henry Drummond; William Jennings Bryan to Matthew Harrison Brady; H. L. Mencken to E. K. Hornbeck; and John T. Scopes to Bertram T. Cates. Although the film’s version of the trial hewed closely to actual events in other areas many facts were changed. For example unlike in the film the real trial was initiated by the American Civil Liberties Union ACLU which considered the Butler Law prohibiting the teaching of evolution in Tennessee classrooms unconstitutional. When Dayton resident George W. Rappelyea learned of the ACLU’s desire to test the law he convinced Scopes who rarely even taught evolution to join the case. According to modern sources because the theory of evolution was included in the state’s textbook many Tennessee teachers included it in the curriculum. Also in contrast to the film according to some historians Darrow wanted Scopes to be found guilty so he could appeal the decision to a higher court. Hollywood: United Artists, 1960 unknown

From the American Antiquarian Society: The Society holds a strong collection of salesman's samples or dummy books which have also been called "blads." These specimen books were used by the itinerant agents of subscription publishers to entice customers to agree to purchase a copy of a work in advance of delivery. This form of marketing was common in America during the years just before and after the Civil War. A typical specimen book of the nineteenth century consists of sample sheets in a sample binding. Sometimes these sheets are in a prepublication state and thus may have bibliographic interest. A customer could choose among alternative styles of binding and a sample book usually includes the spines of available styles mounted inside the covers. The sample book might also include a printed prospectus describing the virtues of the work or edition with recommendations from well-known persons. Most specimen books also include blank forms on which the salesman entered the names addresses sometimes occupations and the number of copies his subscribers agreed to purchase. Subscription forms can provide demographic information on book ownership if not on actual readership. The Society holds over 750 salesman's sample books issued before 1900; about 350 of these were issued before 1877. Most of the early ones date from the 1860s and 1870s. Closely related to the salesman's dummies are prospectuses pre-publication descriptions of books newspapers and magazines which list the title of the item the publishers and the terms of publication. Sometimes they are also subscription papers but more often they are only announcements of forthcoming publications. Complementing this collection are collateral materials on the subscription business including several agents' manuals that give explicit instructions on sales methods. n.p. hardcover
