This is an auction for IN SEARCH OF GANDHI by Richard Attenborough.

Amazon.com review:

"FIVE STARS!!! The pictures in this book are wonderful. It is truly amazing how much time and effort and wheeling and dealing (almost 20 years) went into the making of the movie "Gandhi". There were so many plane rides to India and the US from London that this alone must have consumed an enormous amount of money. But Mr Attenboroughs' first dream and priority was not money, but to make the movie. And really what a movie it is! It is definitely one of the true classics of all time. It entertains, it teaches, it inspires! I just wish more of the story of the actual making of the movie would have entered this book. Interestingly enough the actual filming in India took only 120 days."

"FIVE STARS!! This is the story of the bizarre, humorous, tragic and convoluted events which Attenborough experienced in the years that followed his decision to film the life of Gandhi. He writes in detail about his meetings and friendship with such major political figures as Earl Mountbatten of Burma, Pandit Nehru and Indira Gandhi and about his on-off negotiations with film moguls, international distributors and maraharajas in numerous endeavours to raise the necessary finance."
