I dunno if there are any silent film fans on the board but I'd like to let them know about this book (The 5 of us who worked on it like to refer to it as "The Book Written by 5 Guys for the Other 5 Guys Interested in This Stuff"):



and here's a l'il interview of "Yours Truly"...


Interview: Silent Film Historian Steve Joyce
by A.A. Kidd Posted on 17 April, 2013

Steve, I put a link to this post -- along with a copy of the post itself -- in our thread called Movies You Read (Subtitled and Silent), located in our Off Topic Discussion section.

Check it out! You're our residence expert on this subject.

I'm particularly proud of this interview I ran with Steve on the subject of the book from a while back. Very Happy

Well, we aimed at a niche market, that's for sure but still managed to sell several hundred copies. Libraries seem to be fond of us and we've wiggled our way into some of the best book stacks in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Italy, Poland, Hong Kong, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Denmark, Holland, the U.K., Canada and the United States. That list includes the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (still waiting for my honorary Oscar) and lots of universities that would have laughed at my application as a high school student!

And Andrew...that interview was fun!
