If Greg Edwards has a already written a text as
someone else noted, I can only imagine that it's top-drawer stuff. I agree, info
as well as pictures is essential.
I can remember when there were no film poster
books, now my bookshelves are creaking under the weight of them - lots of nice
pictures, but precious little real information given the tens of thousands of
images they contain, except for Greg's previous book and a couple of more
specialist ones on Russian and Polish posters.

I'll take 20 copies
............................................ not really. So if this book
were to happen and presumably it would be on British Quads, what would the
outline of the content be? Introduction? Just pics with short
descriptions of Title, year, studio? Or would there be a history
section? A breakdown by decade? A short biography of the
artist/designers? Influences of the artist/designers? Favorite
fetishes of the artist/designers? Ooops, I mean paint brushes.
Bruce's books are nice for pictures but I also like text describing the
evolution of the poster itself and any stories behind particular
posters. Okay, it's someone else's turn to chime in.

Subject: [MOPO] Our own book
Philipp recently suggested that we publish our own movie
poster book. I think this is a rather good idea. There are a few online
companies (Shutterfly, Ofoto) that allow you to upload text and photos and
publish just one book if you want. The results are not perfect, because it's
hard to know exactly how the company is going to adjust the exposure of your
jpegs. My brother created a book about his Alaska vacation through
Shutterfly, and it came out pretty good. The technology is pretty amazing
considering that when I was in grade school, the best thing we had was these
ditto machines that used smelly purple ink that bled all over the
paper.
Enough rambling. Here is a preview of my upcoming movie poster
book:
