Photoplay editions—movie tie-in books published in conjunction with the release of the film—were first published around 1912, reached their height in the 1920s and 1930s, and continue, sporadically, to be published today. (And stage play editions go back to the 1890s.) For many lost films of early Hollywood, photoplay editions can be the most tangible reminders that they ever existed. The most popular, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and King Kong, sell for thousands of dollars on those rare occasions when they are offered. 
 Two text chapters trace the history of photoplay editions to the present and discuss the major and minor publishers and the various formats that developed. The condition, popularity, demand, and value of photoplay edition books are also discussed. Part One is a list of American (including Canadian) photoplay editions listed by book title and including such details as the author, publisher, date published, alternate titles, type of dust jacket and the number of photographic stills, main credits, and the estimated value in U.S. dollars. Part Two is a simple list by author of these photoplay editions. Parts Three and Four follow the same format but are listings of British (including Australian) photoplay editions. Part Five lists stage play editions by book title (with full data) and Part Six is a simple list of stage play editions by actor or actress.

Limited Edition; First Printing; 8vo; Limited to 1500 copies. Index, biblio, 21 b/w photos and illustrations. In the 1880s and 1890s, it seemed that middle-aged outlaws were either reformed, imprisoned or deceased. Eugene Bunch didn't turn outlaw until his mid-forties (talk about a mid-life crisis!). He had been a Confederate soldier, school teacher, real estate broker, newspaper editor and the Cook County, Texas clerk before turning to a life of crime. The little known, elusive Bunch is brought to life in this book. Hardcover; Outlaws

Millennium Consulting Group produced this book to illustrate situations where people working in the retail industry performed at their best and worst. We wanted to show that companies and retail associates that commit to superior personal service can and will excel, and we wanted to share a funny and interesting story about a guy we came across during our research - a "regular Joe" retail associate who changed his career, and by proxy his life, by adopting a simple-yet-powerful outlook on customer service. We found that a lot of retail associates ask, "How can I get out of this job?" Very few ask themselves, "What can I get out of this job?" The answer to the second question is: A lot (provided they are approaching their jobs the right way).

Masters track and field athlete Mark Gomes returned to athletic prominence after a 15-year layoff using a combination of traditional and unusual training and dietary tactics. This book provides a great how-to manual for other athletes in their 30s and 40s returning to competition. It also provides a compelling account of the psychological factors that drove Gomes to compete again, an account that caused him to reflect back to his Division I running career at Northeastern University (and some odd - and sometimes comedic - events that occurred there). This book provides: Gomes' full training and workout regimen Gomes' specific dietary approach Gomes' approach to certain injuries Gomes' approach to mental attitude and outlook to keep training fun

Rube Burrow, Desperado is the factual story of a prolific train robber in the 1880s and 1890s who briefly captured national attention through his daring deeds. His robberies ranged from Texas to Arkansas to Mississippi and Alabama, the state where he was raised. He topped off his criminal career with a cold-blooded murder that triggered a major manhunt. Burrow managed to pull off a number of amazing escapes from his pursuers, finally resulting in the inevitable violent end. Various writers attempted to write about him and his deeds, but often getting the facts wrong. Through diligent research, Rick Miller has laid out the true story from primary sources, correcting the many errors written about Burrow and his cohorts. While Burrow did not achieve the lasting notoriety of Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, or Billy the Kid, his story is as exciting and interesting as his outlaw counterparts.
