Valentino, The Unforgotten

Valentino, The Unforgotten was a released in 1938 by Roger C. Peterson. Peterson worked at what is now Hollywood Forever Cemetery and wrote this book based on his experiences with visitors to Valentino's Crypt. This book was then re-released by Tracy Terhune in 2007. He stated that very few copies of the original first printing was released because of a warehouse fire that destroyed many of the copies. This making the original release more difficult to find and obviously more valuable. If you are able to come across a copy of the original, it is common to find the book signed by Peterson. Definitely one of the more rare Valentino books out there, especially based on the number in existence.
