books frequently have only the original copyright date, or the copyright date that that particular company first published the title

the Phantom book is from 1925 as photoplay editions (which I have collected for 30+ years) are published to coincide with the release of the film

sometimes you see a donkey like this:

"1898 Edition of Dracula with pictures from the 1931 film.. This edition of the 1898 printing is rare"

deal in what you know.. leave the rest to the other guys.. like me

well n th opening page it has a pictuture with Chaney in it as the phantom
so perhaps this is why 7 -10 year ago this book was listed as worth 400.00 on ab bookman or maybe the illustrtor... I have forgot buy surely its worth 75.00 to someone//

I would guess its 1925 -27 as ive had loads of pphotoplay books and it looks like the rest.. I also have a clara Bow wings ill be selling. that was 28 when it won the 1st Oscar but was made in 27
so .. I would guess lated the Phantom was a year off?

reare as hens teeth I rekon Ill send you Pics Jeff

tom,

how can this copy of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA be from 1911? the film was released in 1925, so the fact that there are studio stills in this book means that this had to have been published sometime after 1925.

so unless the publisher took copies printed in 1911 and added photos and that front page which states that there are illustrations from Andre Castaigne as well as Universal stills..it doesnt make a bit of sense to me...

can you clarify?

thanks.
