This is Orson Welles: Hardcover vs Paperback - What's the difference

[Kubed]

I beleive the complete Touch of Evil memo is in the paperback version.

Other than that, are there any differences?

Is there more of their interview in the paperback?

the de capo book i think only has the portions of the memo that were printed in film quarterly, but i might be wrong.

otherwise, as far as i know it's the same book. check out the audio tapes of the book. it's not some one reading the book, it's the actual conversations.

go to google and do a search, you will find reviews

The De Capo paperback has an updated foreword and afterword, I think, not to mention being printed on better quality paper. The audio tape edition is a must have as well.

The complete TOUCH OF EVIL memo can be found on Wellesnet; it isn't in the book.

the audio tapes are a must. pretty soon i'm going to turn mine into cds.

Listen to Jeff: The Da Capo paperback revised edition of This Is Orson Welles is fully edited by Jonathan Rossenbaum, the foremost Welles popular scholar, I would think. He has made corrections of fact, added material by Bogdanovich, and besides the TOE memo, has the continuity of the cuts in THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, and most useful of all, a very complete Timeline of Welles life and works.

I recommend the Tapes, by all means, but also the Revised Paperpack.

" has the continuity of the cuts in THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, and most useful of all, a very complete Timeline of Welles life and works."

so does the unrevised hard cover

Thank you for the confirmation, Blunted.
