That’s great! What’s the copyright date on that one?

1926, Grosset and Dunlap.

I wonder if that was commonly done, to have a book based on a photoplay with pictures from it?

I think it was. I have 3 so far.

I also got a cool vintage card game. The story of Gulliver's Travels is told on the back of the cards. There are 36 cards in all, counting the directions.

How about that! Is there like a certain amount of text on the backs of each one? And regular playing cards on the obverses?

One one side there are pictures. Here is the first card that tells the story.

I see! That’s quite interesting—never seen anything like it. Thanks for the photos. I like the line illustrations that are around the edges of the text.

Looking at the box, I get the idea there must have been other books done as well.

I didn't think of that! You must be right.

YAYYYY!

Finally got my copy of Moving Pictures: How They Are Made And Worked.


So excited. It literally came from England, although it said it was coming from Florida. So I had to wait almost 3 weeks, but here it is.
