Description

James Dean signs East of Eden for Giant’s production designer

Signed book: East of Eden. NY: Viking Press, 1952. Hardcover with dustjacket, 6 x 8.75, 602 pages. Beautifully signed and inscribed in fountain pen on the first free end page, 'To Boris - A true artist. The show could not go on without you! With thanks and admiration, James Dean (Cal)' A search on IMDB lists a Boris Leven as the Production Designer on Giant, Dean's last film. Based upon the sentiment added by Dean, one can be reasonably sure that this book was signed for Leven, who went on to have a long career in the film industry. In fine condition, with some light toning to dustjacket and mild sunning to spine. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
