ABOUT LAKIN & MARLEY
We also specialize in the field of "Literature Into Film" and both seek and sell

cripts and first editions.
Lakin & Marley Rare Books has been owned and operated by Howard Lakin since 1993
with very little help from the ra
re book trade’s most notorious imaginary partner.
Howard is a graduate of Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio, and he received his
post-graduate M. F. A. in Film Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Howard is a Life Member of the Writer’s Guild Of America; he worked regularly in
Hollywood for over two decades earning a hundred-plus film and television writing
and producing credits along the way. He eventually segued from Hollywood’s tedium
into something far more exciting: the glamorous lifestyle an antiquarian bookman.
Lakin & Marley Rare Books has built world-class libraries for individuals, served the needs of institutions, fitfully issued twenty-eight catalogues, and regularly exhibits at Book Fairs.
