Library Addition: First Edition of Quentin Tarantino’s Cinema Speculation

Another Amazon purchase, one that came in as a first edition and blessedly free of of damage!

Tarantino, Quentin. Cinema Speculation. HarperCollins, 2022. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Non-fiction book about the films Tarantino saw as a child in the 1970s, from Dirty Harry to Taxi Driver. Seems pretty interesting.

One interesting thing about the book physically is that the cover has that rough texture that’s been all the rage recently…except the black and white photo of Steve McQueen and Sam Peckinpah on the cover, which is smooth. I’d never seen a book with two different textures combined like that before.

    Thanks; Warren was a big influence on my own writing style and approach as well, so I felt it appropriate to put a mention of him in there.
