Vintage Movie Classics

Here's a pretty neat idea for classic film fans who also like to read. Vintage has taken a few titles that were made into popular Hollywood films back in the day and reissued them with all new cover designs and forewords from film historians and biographers. Sure, it's all about finding new ways to market old books to new audiences but as marketing goes, this idea is a pretty good one.  As of March 25 four titles will be available, with additional Vintage Movie Classics editions of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and The Bitter Tea of General Yen slated for release in September.  If your favorite channels are TCM and AMC, Vintage Movie Classics might be your new favorite books.

Titles available March 25:

Alice Adams by Booth TarkingtonBack Street by Fannie Hurst
Cimarron by Edna FerberShow Boat by Edna Ferber
