5.0 out of 5 stars Hollywood Portraits Classic Scene Stills 1929-1941, May 5, 2004
This review is from: Hollywood Portraits: Classic Scene Stills 1929-41 (Hardcover)
This is the right title for this ISBN * ASIN: 0517658453

This book is WONDERFUL. Packed with full pages portraits. Do not think that the book titled "Hollywood Portraits Classic Scene Stills 1939-1951" Is a re print or an updated version. The author / photo compiler Mark Vieira Made an additional book. There are no duplicate photos and both are extremely high quality plates (term for the portriats).

My copy has the same ISBN but says Portland house (a subsid. of Crown pulishing). Ask used sellers what the full title says for which book is which. But it looks like right now they are listing them right.
But if you are cautious like me a simple email confirmation can't hurt.

I AM LOOKING FOR A DUST JACKET ONLY for this addition "Hollywood Portraits Classic Scene Stills 1929-1941"

please email me at raech@insightbb.com if you have one cheap.

Both are oversized format and a must have.

By 
This review is from: Hollywood Portraits: Classic Scene Stills 1929-41 (Hardcover)
One hundred and ninety two pages of the finest motion picture personalities images ever assembled in one book. Mr. Vieira works with famed photographer George Hurrell to unlock why the Classic Scene Stills from 1929 to 1941 are so visually appealing. If you are into portraiture photography or want to know how to light a subject, or have someone light you, for a portrait in a classic way - buy this book.
