Film Unit, | Soho Square, | London, W.C.', amended to '20 Gordon Place', 'W.8.' This was Craig's foremost work, highly influential. Comprising eight signatures of text, each initialled by him with the date 6 March 1941, seven of them with stamp in red ink: 'MARKED PROOF'; together with two signatures of illustrations on art paper, included in the pagination, one of them also signed and initalled. Between the first and second signatures is a leaf on which is written in pencil: '8pp Art to come here. | (Revised page to incorporate frontispiece, followed by pages of diagrams)'. Initialled not in another hand at head of the first page of the work: 'Have returned spare set to printer marked CK, so as not to hold him up. Folios have been adjusted as arranged.' Leaf of paper with printed 'Rough Sketch […] of H.M.S. Harpy' loosely inserted. A few minor corrections and emendations. P.8 carries an autograph ending which Craig had intended to replace that of the Foreword, but thought better of it: 'and now some words by George Pearson unknown to most men but still the greatest man in British Film – he was my old Teacher'.
