Buster Keaton

Buster Keaton (1967) by J.P. Lebel – Zwemmer and Barnes
From Crappy Old Books – we sell charm, not condition.

Before every film student had a Criterion subscription, J.P. Lebel gave us this moody, monochrome tribute to the stone-faced genius of silent cinema, Buster Keaton. Published in 1967 by Zwemmer and Barnes, this photo-heavy volume captures the deadpan daredevil in all his glory—from collapsing houses to locomotive stunts, with just enough analysis to make you feel smart while flipping through the stills.

Our copy? It’s seen better days. Worn edges, yellowed pages, possibly smells like someone’s attic—but hey, so did Keaton’s career before he got rediscovered.

Crappy Old Books – For people who like their classics cracked, creased, and compelling.

Small paperback. 180 pages.
