I noticed recently gutenberg has a handful of non-fiction books on the subject of early movies that could be of interest to the film buffs out there. So I thought I'd dig up as many of these on the subject as I could find in a quick search.

Books About Movies & the Film Industry
I really like the Motion Picture Magazine at the very bottom.
A nice mix of nonfiction and movie stories, with the occasional actor/actress bio thrown in. And lots and lots and lots of photos!
Great find!
