Auction History Result 9m536 FILM PHOTOS WIE NOCH NIE German softcover book 1929 1,200 photos of top German & U.S. stars! Date Sold 9/23/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Vintage German Softcover Book (measures 7 1/2" x 10 3/4" [19 x 27 cm]; 256 pages) (Learn More) Film Photos Wie Noch Nie (literally translates to "Film Photos Like Never Before"), the 1929 German illustrated book featuring 1,200 images and information about silent films and stars such as Dr. Caligari, Joan of Arc, The Kid, Asta Nielsen, Lillian Gish, Emil Jannings, Charlie Chaplin and more. This is a really sensational book! The person who created this book REALLY loved movies and was super knowledgeable about them, because there are lots of images from the greatest movies and the best stars of that time (1929), and there are stars you would not expect to get a decent coverage, like Louise Brooks! In addition, many of the photos are arranged on two-page spreads like they were frames of film and there are loads of really interesting photos we have not seen before. The first 62 pages of the book have text, and while we can't read it because it is in German, it has artwork images of top stars scattered throughout the pages. We photographed a number of pages to give a sense of how it looks, but it really is one of the best such movie books we have ever seen. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that earlier in 2018, a different consignor sent us a hardcover version of this book, and we created the above description from that book. THIS auction is for the softcover version of the same book, but it has the exact same interiors as the hardcover version. So we pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one interior 2-page spread from THIS book (so you can see its actual condition), but if you want to see lots of great images from the other pages, go to the auction for the hardcover at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/9393366.html and you can see great images of Louise Brooks, Buster Keaton, and many others (and of course, we only photographed some of the pages at the above auction link, so you will have to trust us when we say the entire book is filled with great images). Condition: good. There is paper loss in the top right corner of the cover and much scuffing and surface paper loss scattered on the covers. The interior pages have slight darkening around the edges, but otherwise, all of the great interior images are in nice condition (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
