In the Arena: An Autobiography by Charlton Heston . Easton Press, Norwalk, Connecticut, 1995. Full-Leather. Signed by Heston and a limited edition of 1398/1700 . First edition. Looking back over a career that has spanned half a century and a lifetime devoted to being the best possible, both as an actor and as a man, Charlton Heston writes of what it was like to live In the Arena. Heston began his career as an actor in New York shortly after he returned from service in World War II. Television was a fledgling industry then, and there were many opportunities for young performers in this new medium. Broadway was thriving as well, and Heston found work there too. It was not long, however, before Hollywood took note of his talents and his commanding presence. Soon he was embarked on a series of films that were both memorable and hugely successful. He was Moses in The Ten Commandments; he played the title character in Ben-Hur (for which he won an Academy Award); he was Michelangelo in The Agony and the Ecstasy; he played the title character in El Cid; he has played presidents, generals, and statesmen. Typically beautiful Easton Press book. Nice clean and possibly unread copy. Bookplate laid in. Very light gilt loss on the bottom edge, otherwise beautiful.

Superb packaging ensured the paperback arrived undamaged from postal shipping and handling. Seller did a great job with the description and with the photographs. The paperback was exactly as described and pictured. Value is of course, relative, but since I bought it, that ought to inform any other potential buyers of other similar items from this seller that they are worth it.

Shipping was ultra fast and it was packaged well. I was pleasantly surprised when I lifted up the matting on the photo that the photo was actually larger than the margins on the matting. On the down side, I could also now tell that the tinted photo was sun bleached, but it's such a great piece that I don't think it detracts too much.
