Fotonovels


I dug these up from our basement yesterday. Fotonovels were "a collection of books that were filled from front to back with photos from a particular movie" and had "a shorter life than disco itself." Like comic books, but with real photographs! They were so exciting to me as a child. Grease was my favorite (you can tell how worn it is). I also loved Ice Castles (I was especially taken with the "Lexie" embroidered on her collar). And I made sure everyone knew that Mork & Mindy was mine. I just found out that they sold Close Encounters and Heaven Can Wait too! Oh how I wish I had copies of those.

How funny! I totally missed out on these.

I had Charlie's Angels! And I would have given my entire Barbie collection for the Grease book.
