Another type of book collecting was brought to mind, as I went through what I bought last night. (Did I mention that the books cost 50 cents each?)

It's the books that were illustrated with photos from films based on them. I bought one deliberately to give to a photoplay book collector at work. But I discovered there were three other books that I'd bought for myself that were also photoplay books: Rafael Sabatini's The Sea-Hawk, Gene Stratton-Porter's Michael O'Halloran, and Booth Tarkington's The Turmoil. I wonder whether any of the three films has survived ...
