Moving Picture Reprint Series

Publishes rare texts, pamphlets and ephemera from the earliest days of cinema in book form. Each is supplemented with illustrations, notes and original research.

All volumes are filled with extremely rare materials scanned to high resolution image files and touched up or fully restored.  Each page can go from gentle retouching to major reconstruction.

The mission is to make forgotten areas of lost early cinema history available again for the first time in over a century.

Page-Turner Series

Brings back into print fragile and extremely rare pulp stories and dime novels from the 1800’s to the pre-1920’s era, (with a few from the 1920’s).

Blood, thunder, melodrama, and romance!!

Each page is thoroughly and carefully retouched to restore the readability of the text. In editions that have too much printing plate damage or were badly printed they are OCRed (optical character recognition) and or retyped to create a new text version. Careful to retain the original format and punctuation.
