Saw this book at a pal's graphic arts studio. Ran home and ordered it. Gorgeous, inspiring, well produced book. I'm a HUGE fan of movies and a large library of both movie and art books. 1930's posters (along w/1920s) are the best designed if you are a fan of great graphics and paintings. You can search online and see some of these posters, but tiny. If you love the films and stars of the 30s or into graphics or illustrations, this is an essential book for your collection. You can learn alot about good layout, wonderful colors and varied typography. Unlike movie posters today, these are works of illustrative art.
PS I have a BA in Art, MFA in Design (CalArts), Cert in Computer Graphics (UICLA) taught college computer graphics, and am a widely published punk rock photographer. I speak from a very trained artist's POV. I don't usually get very excited about art books cos I have so many, but this is invaluable. Esp if you love 1930s films or gorgeous illustrations which double as ads but stand on their own.
