Welcome: |
Welcome to
Newport
Vintage
Books.
We hope
you will
take the
opportunity
to browse
through
our
extensive
updates.
We hope
you enjoy
the new
look of
our
website,
and the
time &
effort
we've
taken to
offer you
not only
vintage
material,
but also
high
quality
listings
and our
collector
galleries
providing
you with
much
information
and more
to come.
Our
website
has been
designed
to offer
our
viewers a
synergy
between
vintage
books,
classic
movies and
old time
radio
broadcasts.
Many
mystery
readers
may be
familiar
with well
known
detective
and crime
fiction
characters
such as
Philo
Vance,
Bulldog
Drummond &
Fu Manchu,
and not be
aware that
each had
counterparts
on the
silver
screen.
Likewise,
many
classic
film
enthusiasts
may
happily
recall the
films of
Charlie
Chan, Mr.
Moto and
Arsene
Lupin
without
being
familiar
with the
mystery
novels
from which
they
originated.
Similarly,
most
Tarzan
fans are
familiar
with the
several
films
starring
such
actors as
Johnny
Weismuller,
Buster
Crabbe,
Lex Barker
& Gordon
Scott, and
they may
even know
a few of
the 24
Tarzan
novels
written by
Edgar Rice
Burroughs
-- and yet
be
unfamiliar
with the
old time
radio
broadcasts
of Tarzan.
With our
growing
old time
radio
archives,
expanding
author
bibliographies
and our
soon to be
launched
classic
cinema
online
filmographies
we hope to
help share
and guide
our
visitors
through
the
wonderful
world of
early 20th
century
American
entertainment
and
popular
culture. |
