Clint Eastwood from Rawhide to
Pale Rider – the man and his films (English translated edition) by François
Guérif is a book which originated from France. The book was translated into
English by Lisa Nesselson. I always liked this particular book as I remember it
the first to provide a full Rawhide episode guide and some nice French advertisements
for the Dollar films. Unfortunately, although generally well-illustrated
throughout, the reproduction of stills was not the best in quality.
The book is
a large paperback format measuring approx. 9.1” x 8.3” in size and consists of
200 pages. It was first published in the UK by Roger Houghton publishers in 1986
and carried the Pale Rider photograph cover (left).
There was also an American version (below) released in the same year and published by St. Martin’s Press / New York.
Whilst the content was identical the cover was considerably different with a
painting (which appears to be from Sudden Impact) by Marc Cozza. Overall, a pretty
enjoyable read. The book can still be found these days on both Ebay and Amazon,
and can be picked relatively cheaply dependant on condition.
