Bruce,

These should be in a museum or institution. The amount of potential research in them is incredible.

Wouldn't a series of books, similar to your poster books series, be worth condsidering?

While pressbooks might not be as "sexy" as posters, many great ones are marvels of design in themselves.

Alternatively, one terrific book, done like VALLEY OF THE CLIFFHANGERS, would be a visual feast, a great reference.

Books like THE LOST ART OF HOLLYWOOD (tarde ad art) and THE INVISIBLE ART (matte paining art) show that there is much more than
posters to the art of film making.

So I was just looking at a ramdom box of pressbooks I have and I came across a bunch of old ones I had forgotten about, and in there was The Lost World and Tarzan the Ape Man.

What wonderful posters both those movies had, and isn't it weird that there isn't anywhere in the world where you can go (either physically or digitally) and look through the contents of those pressbooks, and tens of thousands of others?
