INTRODUCTION: (EXCERPT) ~ Movie posters were never meant to be collected; nor were they ever intended to be sold to the public. They were not mass-produced, and were never meant to be mass-merchandised. Posters were produced for one reason: to advertise upcoming films at the locl theater. They were intended to be used over and over again, shipped from one theater to the next, until they fell apart from over-use. They were printed in very limited quantities (probably under 10,000 one sheets during the thirties) because until recently there were not a large number of theaters around the United States (it is estimated that during the Depression there may have been as few as 3,000 theaters nationwide.) But they were produced with such dazzling beauty that it was inevitable people would take them home and hang them on their walls. Thus began the hobby of collecting movie posters.

BOOK SUBJECT ~ Here are book excerpts regarding this second edition.
The first edition appeared in early 1985. The hobby of collecting movie posters has matured a great deal. Movie posters have recently been referred to as *Hollywood posters*, *film posters*, *cinema advertising paper*, and other terms intended to make movie posters seem more akin to the fine art field. (We prefer to call them, quite humbly, what they have always been called - movie posters.) Prices that were never dreamed of when the first edition came out have been achieved and even surpassed. Nowadays, $30,000 is a price that won't buy some of the rarest posters. The current market is so strong that the supply of rare classic posters has all but dried up. The lack of reliable pricing information in the marketplace has contributed to the great reluctance by old-time collectors to sell anything of top quality or rarity.

Most everyone loves the motion pictures so this will be great to read through. The posters capture a day of long ago and magic. For the avid collectors this definately is a MUST-HAVE REFERENCE BOOK that gives you a guide to your collection.

The center of the book has a nice collection of VIBRANT ILLUSTRATED POSTERS. The rest of the book has them shown in black and white, or just the descriptive information on the poster. All in alphabetical arrangement.
