4.0 out of 5 stars A NICE BOOK TO OWN., April 24, 2007

D. Blankenship (The Ozarks) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Poster in History (Paperback)

This one sort of falls into the genre of "coffee table books." That being said, it is a well done coffee table book, and unlike so many others of this ilk, it actually has some interesting information to go along with the wonderful illustrations. I like Poster Art, always have and do enjoy having this book. The reason for the 4 star rating, is that I thought that with all the work that obviously went into this work, a wider variety could be given and the text expanded. It is a good book though and I do recommend it. If nothing else, it is quite interesting to just flip thought and enjoy the illustrations, or, if you like, just to set on your coffee table.

First Sentence:
They cover the walls that flank our streets; they are a part of the landscape of our cities, and if, suddenly, it was decreed that they must disappear, we would have the impression that all color had disappeared from the urban landscape, that the city walls had turned a mournful gray.
