Since then I found the Barbara Stanwyck entry, again for a pound in a charity shop...
The Colbert book for some reason is one of the rarest. I bought it in 1979 as a Super 8mm movie shop but that was the only time I ever saw it back then and it doesn't pop up very often on ebay. It was published in 1976 and written by no less than William Everson (who regrettably is one of the few authors who kind of refuses to follow the standard format of really reviewing the movies). The handful of 1977 titles (Harlow, Gardner, a couple of others) are fairly rare too.
