As with the Biblioteca Film Spanish
film booklets, Los Films del Far-West was also a series of film
booklets although genre directed and published by Las Grandes Obras
Modernas, Barcelona, Spain, during the 1920's and 1930's. Being a
silent film western star, Tom Tyler was given considerable attention
in this series, with each film booklet measuring 6 1/4” x 8 7/8”
in size, 15 pages long complete with film scenes inside. The paper
quality is thin, similar to that used in newspapers. Movies with Tom
Tyler in this series include: “The Texas Tornado”, “Terror
Mountain”, “The Desert Pirate”, “The Phantom of the Ranch”
(1928), “Tyrant of Red Gulch”, “The Pride of Pawnee”, and
many others. These film booklets were sold to cinema patrons, and
have become valuable as film collectibles. Below are a few Tom Tyler
film booklets belonging to this series:
