Unbeknownst to the many admirers of Robin Williams was that he was a lover of books. Over the years, Williams had his own private press specially printing on fine papers and handsomely binding editions of the screenplays of some of the films he appeared in.They were all printed in very small quantities. Williams would sign them and then they would be sent to members of the cast and crew of the productions. As a unique item, this is a special opportunity to honor and celebrate Williams's love of his craft, his love of books, and his appreciation of the people who helped to bring his films to life.
Fathers' Day was directed by Ivan Reitman, starring Robin Williams and Billy Crystal with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Nastassja Kinski, Bruce Greenwood, and Jared Harris. The film tells the story of a smarty-pants lawyer (Crystal) who gets a visit from an ex-girlfriend that her son is his. What he doesn't know is that a depressed goofball (Williams) gets a visit from the same ex-girlfriend who delivers the same message. One day they meet and discover that they've been told the same story by the same woman.
