Measures 8-3/8" X by 10-15/16", 248 pp,  scores of b&w photos, written by Alan G. Barbour, stated "Second paperbound printing, 1980," published by Citadel Press (NJ).

If you're old enough to remember the original "FLASH GORDON'" and "BUCK ROGERS" movie serials, this book is for YOU (and, if you've NEVER seen one of the old 1930s/1940s b&w movie serials, buy this book for your grampa, or great-grampa -- and they'll explain the meaning of "movie magic."  Within an unfortunately short 248 pages, the author lovingly provides a glowing history of the movie serials -- from the earliest silent serials, to the very last sputter in the 1950s.  All the major heroes and heroines are here:  FLASH GORDON, BUCK ROGERS, NYOKA, TARZAN OF THE APES, THE LONE RANGER, ZORRO, DICK TRACY, DON WINSLOW, SUPERMAN, BATMAN, CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT, CAPTAIN AMERICA, CAPTAIN MARVEL, THE SPIDER, THE SHADOW, COMMANDO CODY, and many more.  And let's name a few stars, shall we?  Such as JOHN WAYNE, BUSTER CRABBE, GENE AUTRY, DAVE SHARPE, LINDA STERLING, PEARL WHITE, JEAN ROGERS, RALPH BYRD, JACKIE COOPER, BOB LIVINGSTON, BOB STEELE, and more.  Plus scores and scores of great, action-packed b&w photos from many of the best serials ever filmed.  Back in the 1950s, when I was hunkered down in front of my small-screen b&w TV, devouring each chapter of "FLASH GORDON'S TRIP TO MARS" or "TIM TYLER"S LUCK" or "BIY SCOUTS TO THE RESCUE" (as presented by "CAPTAIN 11" on WTCN-TV in the Twin Cities), I never dreamed that a huge, beautiful book would ever be published, just about the movie serials that I loved so fervently.  But it DID get published -- and your grampa or great-grampa will LOVE it!!!
