'Cinema Treasures' Book Now On Sale! posted by Ross Melnick on October 4, 2004 at 6:24am After nearly two years of research and contributions by theaters and archives around the country, Cinema Treasures, by Ross Melnick and Andreas Fuchs, is now on sale at bookstores around the country! Celebrating the history of moviegoing in the United States over the past 100 years, this book will not only interest anyone working in or studying motion picture exhibition, but just about everyone who loves to go to the movies. Complimenting this survey of the development of U.S. theatrical exhibition — from the penny arcade and nickelodeon pioneers, to the designers and showmen of the movie palace era, the drive-in developers and widescreen visionaries, and the theater circuits of today — Cinema Treasures features hundreds of contemporary and archival images and ephemera. The book also contains 30 detailed profiles of theaters still showing movies today. Having survived decades of technological and social change they remain vibrant “Cinema Treasures” to their respective communities. Cinema Treasures is also a great gift for family and friends. One glance at the breathtaking images of the AFI Silver Film and Cultural Center in Silver Spring, MD, the Palace Theatre in Canton, OH, or the Strand-Capitol in York, PA, for instance, should explain to anyone why saving our classic theaters is a vital part of preserving our cultural and architectural heritage.
