This lot comes
from the collection of
Charles Gordon Carroll III
, an American film
producer and book aficionado.
He is best known
for being a principal producer for the ‘
Alien
‘ film franchise
which began in 1979.
We acquired
Carroll’s library en bloc including several of his personal copies of movie
scripts (
‘Alien’
(1979)
,
‘Cool Hand
Luke’
(1967)
,
‘Alien 3’
(1992)
,
‘How to Murder Your Wife’
(1965)
,
etc.) and a few
H.R. Giger
items he amassed over the
years.
The H.R. Giger
painting completed by Giger for Carroll in 1978 was sold by Abell Auctions in
Southern California in March, 2022 for $140,000.
Carroll was also
the heir to a large collection of
Limited Editions Club
books
which his father acquired when he bought the LEC publishing operations from
Ziff-Davis in 1970.
