Very Rare Russian Paperback Booklet

I hope everyone had a great Holiday.  This one here was the highlight of my Christmas gifts.  This is an extremely rare Russian Valentino Paperback Booklet.  I honestly know very little about it, and unfortunately am unable to read it.  I do know this is extremely rare, I had never seen this book prior to getting it for Christmas.  It is awesome to still be able to come across items I've never seen before.

1995 Birthday Rudolph Valentino Fan Club Booklet

This is a 100th Birthday dedication booklet from 1995. The booklet is called Buon Compleanno, which is Italian for Happy Birthday. The Booklet was produced by Patricia Lampinen who used to run a Valentino fan club back in the 90's. There were about 30 or so members, including myself. She asked the current members to send birthday messages and poems to her to create this 100th birthday booklet. Even though this was simply a homemade item it is significant because there were only 30 or so created and it was created by one of many Valentino fan clubs over the years. This would be a desirable item to those who are now collector's who were not former members of this fan club and has to have one of everything out there.

The Life and Loves of Rudolph Valentino

This is a very rare booklet from 1926. It is entitled "The Life and Loves of Rudolph Valentino." This soft bound booklet is 30 pages long and has various photos of Valentino from his films. The back of each photo in the book reads, "Other side for framing purposes if you so desire." There are articles in the book from Dorothy Herzog, Edward J. Doherty, and C.F. Zittel. This appears to be a supplemental booklet produced by a magazine or newspaper. The article from C.F. Zittel is sited from "Zit's Weekly Newspaper." This is the only copy of this book I have ever come across. This book is extremely rare, and quite valuable.

Spanish Son of the Sheik Booklet

This is a Spanish booklet that depicts Valentino on the cover reading mail. This is from a Spanish Chocolate company. The top reads Evaristo Juncosa, collection of movies, Rodolfo Valentino from The Son of the Sheik. This appears to be promoting Valentino and The Son of Sheik. This is not a very common booklet, but not extremely valuable.

1968 Screen Facts Booklet

This is a Screen Facts booklet / magazine from 1968. The cover depicts a drawing of Valentino, not a great drawing, but a nice tribute. This is fairly common, it is something a bit different.
