This review is from: Mas! Cine Mexicano: Sensational Mexican Movie Posters 1957 - 1990 (Paperback)
I enjoyed the Mexican movie posters used in this book. Colorful, often humorous, and offering a little insight into Mexican culture. My only complaint is that too many times there are 4 tiny posters on a page and lots of white blank page. sure would have been nice to see more of these posters blown up a bit larger! But overall, it's a fun book to look at. I've actually seen a few of these movies too ;which surprised me.
