Hershenson Scores A Rootin'-Tootin Hit!!,
This review is from: Cowboy Movie Posters (The Illustrated History of Movies Throught Posters Series Vol. 2) (Paperback)
This excellent collection of poster images from close to 100 years of Western movies was originally sent to me as part of a "grab bag" collection of poster books from Mr.Hershenson. (For the uninitiated; Bruce Hershenson bills himself as "The Largest Movie Poster Dealer in the World". Considering the incredible energy he devotes to the hobby, the quality of his service and his merchandise, it's a tough claim to dispute.)I was never a huge fan of posters from this genre, but this book made me a believer. The images, especially from the pre-1940 movies which comprise much of the book, (movies right up to the publication date are covered), are absolutely mind-boggling in their lush coloring and craftmanship. The printing quality is easily as good as humongous art books that cost 4 times as much as this reasonably priced tome. I now buy all of Bruce's books, regardless of their subject matter, as there are always images that interest me, and I was especially excited about the second volume of COWBOY POSTERS, which is also highly recommended by this reviewer. The problem with Bruce's books is that as I keep falling in love with all these new posters, I keep spending more money on acquiring the originals for my collection. Fortunately, Bruce has these weekly auctions on eBay where I can get them at reasonable prices....hey, wait! Do you think there's a connection here? Hmmm... A great volume in a grand ongoing series that belongs in the collection any fan of movie poster art or cinema in general.

This review is from: Cowboy Movie Posters (The Illustrated History of Movies Throught Posters Series Vol. 2) (Paperback)
There's only one word to describe this book: Incredible!!! It contains some of the most beautiful movie poster artwork you've ever seen - especially all these western classics from the thirties. This book shows us how bad the movie poster artwork is today. Uwe Reber

This review is from: Cowboy Movie Posters (The Illustrated History of Movies Throught Posters Series Vol. 2) (Paperback)
From the first page to the last you will feel like a kid again .The silent posters gave me a chance to see the stars who stared in early westerns.Then it goes into early talkies.What a sight young GARY COOPER in his first western.Then it goes into the era that i saw on tv .HOPPY,JOHN WAYNE,GENE AUTRY,and others.And covering JIMMY STEWART, GREGORY PECK. To CLINT EASTWOOD and KEVIN COSNER.Each photo 100% quality.Made me go through the basement at my parents house to see if i could find my GUNSMOKE holster and gun, or my RIFLEMAN rifle i had as a kid. At least i found RIO GRAND on DVD .Dont miss this book
