An Original Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 8 3/4" x 11 1/4" [22 x 29 cm]; 255 pages) (Learn More)

Cliffhanger: A Pictorial History of the Motion Picture Serial, the 1977 Alan G. Barbour (with introduction by Linda Stirling) illustrated book detailing the history of the Hollywood serial and the cast and crew that made them possible. Alan G. Barbour was an early movie paper historian of movies, especially serials and horror/sci-fi/fantasy, and he published magazines in the 1960s and 1970s that were mostly pictures of movie stills and sometimes posters and lobby cards from classic films, which in those pre-Internet days were incredibly hard to find or view in any way! This was his "magnum opus", a hardcover with hundreds of lavishly illustrated pages about movie serials.
Important Added Info: Note that this is the first edition from 1977 in its original dust jacket. We have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads.

Note that on all hardcover books, the buyer must pay the actual cost of shipping (but if you solely buy books, or if you want the books shipped separately, they can be shipped in the U.S. only via "Media Mail", which is much less expensive than Priority Mail; unfortunately, there is no similar service outside the U.S. to Media Mail). So bear the above in mind before placing a bid on this book.

Condition: good to very good. There is some scuffing and a couple of tears on the dust jacket.
