AbeBooks: Photoplay Editions: Rudolph Valentino to Jean Harlow: You are all familiar with movie tie-in editions released to coincide with a major film, but photoplay editions were the forerunners of these books. Photoplay editions were editions produced to accompany silent films and the early motion pictures of the sound era when movies were known as photoplays.Popular with many book collectors, these books were published mainly in the 1920s and 1930s. Grosset & Dunlap or A.L. Burt were particularly prolific in publishing photoplays and the most collectible of all photoplay editions is probably King Kong from 1932.
