Online interviews about Magazine Collecting

August 7, 2008 By Cliff Aliperti

I'm going to get these couple of links over to the Collecting Old Magazines home page when I get to its redesign, but as for now figure I'd post them here. Here are a couple of recent chats I had centered on magazine collecting:

Is It Worth Keeping Old Magazines at LoveToKnow.com

And more recently:
Vintage Magazine Collector Cliff Aliperti on the ephemera blog

There should be some helpful nuggets in each of those for the collector (hopefully not too much repetition as they were conducted 6-8 months apart). Enjoy!

James L. Neibaur of Examiner.com calls it: "One of the most interesting and important film books of the young year," adding, "the documentation is original and significant." Full review.

Jacqueline T. Lynch, author of Ann Blyth: Actress. Singer.Star., says: "A prime example of a classic film fan taking the reins to produce a scholarly study of a neglected figure from the Golden Age of classic films in a way that I feel is refreshing, infinitely helpful to fans and students of old movies." Full review.

Silver Screenings says: "A fascinating account of an ambitious and hard-working woman ... Aliperti’s book is well written and incredibly well researched." Full review.

Speakeasy says: "Despite her decline, this is not a sad or bleak book but an enjoyable history ... Any fan of the collectible Citadel “Films of” book series will appreciate the modern twist on that format, a full biography followed by an expanded filmography." Full review.

A Classic Movie Blog says: "I think this is a good format for performers with short lives and brief careers ... I went into it with only mild curiosity about Twelvetrees and now I find my self pining for copies of unavailable, but intriguing films." Full review.

Helen Twelvetrees, Perfect Ingenue is available in paperback or Kindle edition at Amazon.com.
