I got my copy of the book the other day. Very nicely done and different from what i expected. (I had an issue or two of the Overstreet Comic Price Guide way back in the early 80s or possibly late 70s. This was NOTHING like that.) I like how it was done. There were articles on various poster artists, interviews with collectors, looks at specific film series (Tarzan, James Bond, Star Wars, etc.), storage, etc. Much niced than just a list of titles and prices (which was like that old comic price gfuide i am remembering was like). Nice full color glossy pages throughout. VERY well done.

Wondering the same thing myself.

Jeff,
Thanks for posing the link to the SFO Museum's CLASSIC MONSTERS exhibit featuring stuff from Kirk Hammett's collection (I had never heard of him until this...d'oh! My bad!). I actually went to the exhibit today---which was a big ordeal because it's in the airport beyond the security areas for ticketed passengers---and I wasn't flying out any where. Ha!  But I did get in with the aid of a super helpful museum curator. Here are some photos below. I'll share more about it in the Kirk Hammett thread (which I also just saw for the first time today. Ha!) later tonight.

Cheers!

(This is the program or catalog for the exhibit, front and back ...the curator gave it to me along with a fold out brochure)
.

It WAS a cool exhibit Jeff. More about it and photos on the Kirk Hammet thread.

Below is the brochure (looked similar to the cover of the catalog/program on the outside) as it unfolds to the small poster.

Sean Linkenback does have an awesome collection. Honestly, I could probably do a series of interviews with him on his movie posters, Godzilla collectibles, and comics with oodles of pictures. I'll keep that in mind for the future. thumbsup.gif

We (Gemstone Publishing) still write and publish The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, but it's the only price guide we produce. If I tried to create a movie poster price guide I'd be passed out from exhaustion because that would be waaaaay too big of a task.

I'm glad it was NOT a price guide. Prices are so willy nilly. They rise and fall quickly. What you did was very nice. i like the book.

CHEERS!

I can only imagine the time that went into Kisch's book. It was time consuming finding prices for the posters mentioned in The Overstreet Guide to Collecting Movie Posters, and that was on just a couple dozen examples.

There's a new movie poster interview running in Scoop this week. It's with Monster A GoGo: http://scoop.diamondgalleries.com/Home/4/1/73/1017?ArticleID=171803

Thanks Jeff. Glad it came out. I'd kind of forgotten about it.

Thanks for reading it... I'm sorry I was long-winded as usual.

Cheers!

Thanks Eric, E, and Rosa. The only thing I wish i could fix in the interview is the apparent removal of the parentheses "()" from the text. I tend to go on and on (and I think that's from my former career as a writer, needing to stretch things out and all). All of the extraneous information in the article, which i had broken up with parentheses (at least I think i did), is now broken up with commas...which can get confusing when you are listing things AND commenting about them within the list. But whatever.

Thanks for reading it and the nice comments.  As i said in the interview, coming here was the BEST THING about my long and (until now) lonely collecting journey.

CHEERS!

Hey Ari & Charlie. Thanks for reading it.

You know, despite collecting all of these years, until I was on here, I was very private about my collecting. I don't tell people about my hobby. No one at work knows about it. Sure, I had posters hanging all over my house, but even my mother--who had seen them many times--had NO IDEA of the scope of my collecting until I sent her the interview.

So thank you all for letting me come out of the "poster closet" somewhat (well, my poster closet is so full of posters I couldn't actually get into it if i wanted to)!

CHEERS!

Just read your interview, MAGG.  Very nice and thank you for mentioning APF.  Very kind of you.  I don't usually read stuff like that, but I did tonight, and I'm wondering how many people read it.  Anyone knows?
