I woke up at about 3am ish the other night and had a quick look on the board. I thought I saw Mark (repto) post some of his film books...Was I dreaming..it seems we have very similar tastes in books as well as posters. When I checked back his post was gone! Maybe because it was in the wrong thread?? , so I'll start one here as a few others were going to post film related books to, and I'm keen to see what we all have...

So I must start with the Holy bible of Horror books...

I'm sure Mark posted this one... hear's the revised version also.

Gone With the Wind producer amongst other great titles.

Probably taken in the early 1960's.

Paul, Heroes of the Horrors was one of the first books I got as a teenager. It was a Xmas gift.

It is here on my shelf as i post this. What a great book.

I don't think I have that Lon of a 1000 faces, looks a jollyfine book, worth it for the cover alone...

Do you have "faces forms and films", I'll get a pic tomorrow of it...

I do. It's one of the first books I bought in LA when I wandered into a bookstore on Hollywood Blvd.

Re: Lon Of 1000 Faces: Back in 2001, I made a second trip to Ackerman's house to do one of his Saturday morning guided tours of the Ackermansion and had him sign it...lol

paul waines · « **Reply #17 on:** March 12, 2013, 01:49:19 PM »

That is the book Jeff, a jollyfine one too.

I'm thinking I must pick up that Noir encyclopaedia Chris posted, as well as the Lon of a 1000 faces.

Here's another few off the shelf...

These are a must have, full of very useful info

One of the best books written on the Uni-Frankys...

Very scarce...

This is a first rate read, if you haven't already...

erik1925 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 12, 2013, 02:15:07 PM »

Several others:

This last is not a film related book, or even a film poster book. It was published in 1895, so talks more of early advertising posters by artists like Cheret and his contemporaries. Still a fascinating look at posters as they existed at the time the book was written.

erik1925 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 12, 2013, 04:44:21 PM »

No pics in this one.. just data and lists:

Mirosae · « **Reply #20 on:** March 12, 2013, 05:11:37 PM »

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DISPLAY!!

Im thinking I must STOP buying posters and START buying all these incredible, beautiful looking books. I won't post here. You all put me to shame or rahter you all have inspired me to buy books...

er....

unless you keen to send them over to me...? if so, please send them to Rosackingham Palace etc, etc.. all would be graciously received ...

Quite a worthy book, just downloaded it for my iPad. Glancing over it, it's more text than posters, which is fine because I like history.

The heaviest and most expensive book I've ever bought. Well worth every cent though if you like Mario Bava.

Ken is REALLY an expert on this subject. I thought I knew most of what there was to know, but boy was I ever wrong. I learned so much from this book.
