LEARN ABOUT MOVIE POSTERS is a great guide to collecting authentic movie posters. It is useful for the seasoned collector and the film enthusiast who is just warming to the idea of owning a few movie posters. Written by Ed and Susan Poole, the book distills the important information about collecting film posters and brings the entire subject into focus. What's an authentic poster? Where did these posters come from? When did people begin to collect them? Do posters come from all countries? Are there cartoon posters? Did famous artists work on these posters? Can you still get silent movie posters? How do you buy a movie poster, and where can you see them? Is the internet useful in trying to find movie posters? Who are the great dealers in film material? What makes certain posters valuable? All the information in the book is useful, and if the book doesn't answer every last question, it addresses the areas in which questions naturally arise. This one should be in your library. The information in this book is of great help and is written in a clear and concise manner.

This book is just the thing for either a beginner or expert on collecting movie posters. The different sections allow you to go straight to the subject you need information on immediately. I personally loved the section which lists the different artists and the posters they have done. Also of great interest is the section on preserving and displaying your collection.
Part I is excellent reading on the History of the Movie Poster and the books moves on to address the collection of movie posters.
A great asset for all movie lovers!!!
