This book contains 488 great images of movie posters and lobby cards that are directly related to the great Lone Star State (movies with "Texas", "Texan", or "Tex" in the title, movies with famous Texas cities or locales, movies with "Lone Star" in the title, or movies dealing with the famous "Texas Rangers"). The images are spread over 80 pages and this book also serve as the auction catalog for our December 8-18, 2005 auction! This is Bruce Hershenson's 19th major movie poster auction, but this auction contains a large number of images never seen in any previous book or catalog!

The book includes brief essays on each decade by noted cowboy poster collector Brian Cook. This is the original first edition from 1995, and supplies are running low. It will never be reprinted!

It contains a huge percentage of all the sports movie posters known from before 1950! This is the original first edition from 1997, and it will never be reprinted.

There are ten full-page images, and there is a greater emphasis on the great stars of the 1940s, such as Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Hoppy, although like the previous volume it spans all the years from early silents to the present day. This is the original first edition from 1998, and it will never be reprinted.

This collection contains 306 full-color illustrations of great horror movie posters spread over 84 pages with 10 full-pagers. It is intended as a companion volume to the great Graven Images, and amazingly there are no duplications! However, Graven Images stopped in 1968, and this volume continues all the way to the present, covering all the great (and some not-so-great!) horror films you saw in the theaters. This is the original first edition from 1998, and it will never be reprinted.

This collection contains 329 full-color illustrations of great movie posters from musical films spread over 84 pages, and this volume continues all the way to the present, covering all the great musical films you saw in the theaters.

It covers every type of comedy from the broad slapstick of Jerry Lewis, Mel Brooks, and Jim Carrey, to musical comedies, to the great screwball comedies of the 1930s, and on and on!

This collection contains 297 full-color illustrations spread over 84 pages. This volume is 50% devoted to the films made about World War II, and the other 50% is devoted to all other wars, from ancient wars to the Gulf War. Included are films that take place during battles, as well as other aspects of war such as prisoners of war, espionage, the home front, etc. All of the posters pictured on this page received a full page in the book. This is the original first edition from 2000, and it will never be reprinted.

This collection contains 280 full-color illustrations spread over 84 pages. This book does not focus on the lesser cowboy and crime movies of the 1930s and 1940s which are generally called "B" movies. Rather, it focuses on the lesser films dealing with sex, monsters, and violence which so dominated the drive-ins of the 1950s and 1960s (although some similar earlier and later films are included as well). The movies represented in this book include some of the worst films ever made, but all have great poster art and taglines! This is the original first edition from 2000, and it will never be reprinted.

This collection contains 370 full-color illustrations spread over 80 pages. This book shows images of five films from every year from 1927 through 2000 that were NOT nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award. It also includes lists of what was nominated, as well as hundreds of worthy honorable mentions, all indexed and cross-referenced, making this a reference guide to what year the best films were made, and whether or not they were nominated for (or won) the Best Picture Academy Award. It even includes which of the films are available on VHS! This is the original first edition from 2001, and it will never be reprinted.

The auction includes the greatest collection of 1930s and 1940s serial one-sheets ever assembled, all with top quality, full-color images of each poster. This is the original first edition from 2001, and it will never be reprinted.

This book contains 260 full-color illustrations spread over 80 pages. It includes a wonderful collection of 1950s and 1960s horror/sci-fi one-sheets and lobby cards. Because many of the illustrations are of two lobby cards from a single film (almost always the title card and the best scene card), the book contains over 450 images of 1950s and early 1960s horror and science fiction movie posters and lobby cards! This is a virtual encyclopedia to just about every horror and science fiction film made during this period, including all the best-known titles! 1950s and early 1960s horror and science fiction is the most popular genre of movie poster collecting, and the posters and lobby cards from those films are the most desirable and sought-after of any movie paper. Perhaps it is because of the often wild and outrageous images that filmmakers used to try to promote these often low-budget movies. Often the posters were far superior to the films they advertised! This is the original first edition from 2001, and it will never be reprinted.

169 images of the absolute worst (and trashiest) films ever made spread over 84 pages in a cool horizontal format! But we carefully choose the ones with the absolute best poster art and taglines, ones that promised far more than the films delivered!

This book contains 60 FULL-PAGE FULL-COLOR images of some of the greatest horror movie posters ever made! This book retails for $14.99!
     Our previous books contain hundreds of images in each, but in order to have so many images, we had to make most of them 1/4 of the page or smaller.  But we also certainly understand a small image does not do justice to these great posters, and we have always agonized when deciding which posters will be given a full page!
     That is why we have made this major change in this series, The Illustrated History of Movie Posters. Each new volume in this series now contains sixty of the finest posters from a single genre, with EVERY poster receiving a full-page and each volume is printed with the exact same standards of quality of the earlier series. Since the cover price of each volume is just $14.99, that means the cost per image is just 25 cents!
    For this volume, 60 Great Horror Movie Posters (and for the second volume we published at the same time. 60 Great Sci-Fi Movie Posters), we were faced with a difficult question. Exactly where is the dividing line between "horror", "sci-fi" (and "fantasy")? We don't believe there is a good answer to this question! In our view, horror films must contain a desire to scare the viewers, and should have fantastic elements that could never happen in reality. Sci-fi films should be solidly based in reality, with elements that may well be possible someday, thanks to advances in science. Fantasy films should contain some contrary-to-fact elements (like magic or backward time-travel), but should not be based on a desire to scare the viewer.
    But even with these loose definitions, assigning films to these genres is still very difficult, so in the end we just took our best guess and divided these genres into two groups, putting all those films we deemed as "horror" in 60 Great Horror Movie Posters, and all those films we deemed as "sci-fi" or "fantasy" in 60 Great Sci-Fi Movie Posters!

     For this volume, 60 Great Cowboy Movie Posters, I was faced with an unusual problem. Three of the greatest cowboy stars, John Wayne, Buck Jones, and Tom Mix, were great moneymakers for their studios and those studios (Republic, Columbia, and William Fox) created their finest posters for their films. So this book could have consisted entirely of posters of those three stars! But I wanted to still give an overview of all the top stars over all the years, so I chose some of the finest posters of the above stars and also many of the finest posters of the other top cowboy stars, and the best-remembered western films.

The most unbelievable collection of John Wayne U.S. one-sheets ever assembled! Virtually EVERY one-sheet known to exist, including the original release and ALL known re-releases! The auction also included some ultra-rare lobby cards and glass slides from many of Wayne's 1930s westerns, and was the auction catalog for our 2003 mega-auction! The full-color catalog is a "must-have", for it is the ultimate reference guide to John Wayne one-sheets!

The most unbelievable collection of Warner Bros movie paper ever assembled! This book contains 646 images spread over 80 pages and was the auction catalog for our December 2004 mega-auction! The full-color catalog is a "must-have", for it is the ultimate reference guide to Warner Bros movie paper!
