It’s really sort of surprising (and I posted a bit about this at Readerville last week) that this book didn’t exist until now. I’ve only seen it, so far, in PDF form, but it combines photos, contact sheets, ads and notices, photographs, correspondence and transcripts into one bound document of the documentary. I particularly love the letter from an indignant viewer sent “THRU: Rogert (sic) Ebert, Film Critic.”

I can’t stop looking at it.

There’s a ton of great Grey Gardens-related video at YouTube, including the 1975 trailer for the documentary, the preview of the new HBO movie and the unforgettable “revolutionary costume” scene from the original.
