Script City 8033 Sunset Blvd., Suite #1500 Hollywood, California 90046 tel: (213) 871-0707 they are far from complete but they do have an extensive collection of produced, but unpublished screenplays for feature films ($24.95- $26.95 (1992 prices, I haven't ordered since)), Television movies ($24.95), and television series ($16.95). The prices are before tax and shipping, naturally, and what they do is take orders, and then photocopy them all at once every two weeks and then mail them. If you want them to do it faster and ship it UPS or Priority Mail so you will get it faster, then there are extra charges. It can become expensive, but reliable. For instance, I needed a copy of *Dr. Strangelove* to put on reserve for a class, and to get it in four days cost me $33 and change--that included the script, tax, and shipping. They take orders over the phone, if you'll give them your credit card number. They also carry a few treatments, some story boards, posters, stills, audio-cassettes of radio shows, and some published screenplays. You can order a catalog from them for $2 to give you an idea of their stock, but it's just as easy to call them and ask if they have what you want, since they are continuously adding titles. Larry Edmunds Bookshop 6644 Hollywood Blvd Hollywood, CA 90028 tel: (213) 463-3273 This is a long established Hollywood bookstore that deals exclusively in materials film and television--published screenplays, books and books and books--how-to, industry directories, biographies, and critical studies--as well as photo-stills and posters. What they don't have they can order, and they take orders over the phone with credit card numbers. They've shippped reliably and quickly to me in the past, when I've been to lazy to drive down there to fight for parking. They do not deal in unpublished screenplays, only the published ones. Samuel French's Theatre and Film Bookshop 7623 Sunset Blvd Hollywood, CA 90046 tel: (213) 876-0570 This was first a theater bookshop (since French's is one of the major American publishers and distributors of play scripts) but has a huge part of their shop devoted to film books. They are not devoted to critical studies, but one of their recent ads listed the following: The business of Film * Industry Directories * Screenwriting * Screenplays * Directing * Biographies & Studies of Film Directors * Editing * Cinematography * Lighting * Continuity * Animation * Special Effects * Makeup * Acting What you would expect would sell in this town. They, too, like the ol' credit cards. Once again, they deal in published, not the unpublished-though-produced screenplays. I've only purchased in-store there, never ordered over the phone, but I would bet they are reliable. They've been here for a while, and even longer in New York (212/ 206-8990). Raymond Soto UCLA
