Re: PLEASURE BEFORE BUSINESS (1927) w/ Max Davidson
This is one of the best pieces of news this year, Rob! It's a truly entertaining film. I still remember your description of it in that wonderful issue of "Griffithiana", long time ago.

Thank you for the nice words, Dave.
There is a good chance that some copies will be in Pordenone as well. However, the book is available on Amazon now. They did it sooner than I expected: https://amzn.eu/d/1RnEhnC
