This is a terrific book filled with beautifully produced color images of hundreds of sports movie posters. It goes beyond the standard popular sports such as baseball, basketball and football. There are also sections on auto racing, soccer, tennis and much more. It covers posters from the 1910s right on through the 1990s. Most of the pictures are of one-sheets, but there are also examples of lobby cards, half-sheets, etc. Many of the posters are from movies I never even knew existed. This would make a great gift for movie poster collectors and sports memorabilia collectors alike.

I own several movie poster books created by Bruce Hershenson, and they all are all of exceptional quality. His images of classic film posters are second to none. He always seems to find the most unique images of all our favorite films. His books cover all genres; however, SPORTS MOVIE POSTERS is, of course, my favorite. Collectors of sports autographs and other memorabilia will want to be sure to become familiar with these rare collectibles. You will be surprised to see how many sports and baseball icons like New York Yankees legends Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle have showed up in film. Be sure to check out Hershenson's other books featuring SCI FI and ACADEMY AWARD WINNERS.

Once again, Bruce has put out another great book of poster images! The pictures are all very well done. If you collect movie posters or just like to look at great images you'll love this book. It is full of the greats.

Bruce Hershenson offers yet another stunning example of movie poster art. As in all of his books, Bruce shows impeccable taste in selecting the finest sampling of Sports movie history dating back to the beginning of film spanning to current day. The only complaint with the book is that it is only 80 pages long when movie poster collectors and lovers like myself keep wishing for 800.
