Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Old Tucson Studios Author

TUCSON, Ariz. - May 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Tucson has been the filming location for over 500 major movies and is third behind Los Angeles and New York as the most filmed city in the United States. Since 1939, Old Tucson Studios has hosted nearly 300 movies and television productions.

Through historic photographs, local author Paul J. Lawton pictorially portrays the fascinating times and milestones of the Old Tucson Studios.

Lawton hopes the book will “leave people with the desire to rent or buy these films and enjoy a ride back to a time that America was young and more idealistic.”
