Spiral-bound early-stage screenplay for the film adaptation of All the President's Men, 8.5 x 11, 160 photocopied pages, with the front cover reading: "All the President's Men, Screenplay by William Goldman, Based on the Book by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, Wildwood Enterprises, Inc., July 11, 1975." Especially notable are early story/editorial notes jotted inside the front cover and on both sides of the back cover, referring to Woodward, Bernstein, and Deep Throat. In fine condition, with expected wear from use.

All the President's Men, adapted by William Goldman, masterfully adapts the nonfiction book by journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

Goldman's screenplay won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and is celebrated as a benchmark in political thriller writing.
