Quentin Taratino has tranformed his film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" into his first novel. (COURTESY OF HARPERCOLLINS)

On June 29, Quentin Tarantino will be releasing his first book, a novelization of his 2019 film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”

Movie novelizations were a particularly popular piece of movie tie-in merchandise in the 1970s through to the '90s with nearly every major Hollywood release getting one. These books were generally released as paper books in small batches and are long out of print. One curious example is a kid-friendly adaptation of “Spaceballs” by a pre-”Goosebumps” R.L. Stine under the pseudonym Jovial Bob Stine.
