The fact that highly seasoned producing and writing talent is at work on the show fails to moderate Capote's opinion. He insists that he will not stand for the TV version "if they give me all the money in Christendom." Since Paramount already paid for the book's movie rights, and interprets this to include...
...more big books show encouraging signs of aim and editing. Still others are notable for size, subject matter, outrageous pricing and, occasionally, sheer beauty. Among the selections listed below, hard-driven Christmas-gift seekers will even find a handful of really good books-products of taste, intelligence, talent and the kind of professional care that almost amounts to love...
