In July I eventually managed to get hold of a copy of the 1958 hardback publication of ‘Kamera on Location’ by Harrison Marks. I’ve been after this book for sometime, but whenever it appeared on eBay it always went beyond my financial limit, due to it’s rarity. Anyway one came up in July on eBay and I found it by accident as it wasn’t published under Harrison Marks, but vintage books. The condition was down as very good, but missing the dust cover and a price of £30, so I decided to go for that price and see what happened, well after 7 days of waiting to be outbid I won it for the asking price and a day later it turned up.
For those purists out there the lack of dust cover may have stopped most people, but for me I was after the book and content itself.
As you can see upon inspection the condition of the book itself is spot on, with the internal pages being clean, crisp and clear. The images of Pamela Green, Marie Deveraux & Lorraine Burnett within are exquisite, as you have seen from the scans here. So from my point of view worth every penny and another of Harrison Marks books to my growing collection. I now have Pamela & Kamera on Location, but still missing an actual copy of Vera & She Walks in Beauty, although I do have full scans of both books 🙂
As an added bonus, included in the book by the seller was the article below from an unknown magazine all about Harrison Marks and Kamera on Location, plus the inside parts of the dust cover.
I love this book and hope you do as I post more pages of it in the coming months … Enjoy!
