Striking Poses: Photographs from the Kobal Collection

This is one of my favorite books, the color photography is the most vivid, crisp and sharp that I have ever seen in ANY book of photographs, It really is Almost photograph quality (unheard of in the book/printing press format) You would have to see it to beleive it, this is one book in my Library that will be with me until i am gone, if you love the Hollywood of old and appreciate beautiful high quality color photography then you will want to get a copy of this large book for yourself.

hardcover first edition book tribute to the great stars of Hollywood's Golden Age (1920s-1950s). This lavish, large-sized (9"x11") hardcover book features some of the most spectacular, high quality large photos printed from the original negative on heavy stock paper. Much better than normal photo books. It also comes in paperback and I believe was re printed in hardback at least once. This review is of Format: Hardcover Publish Date: 1987 ISBN: 0941434974 List Price: 1st edition hardback original list $24.99The paper pages are thick glossy & fantastic and the images wow!Old Hollywood come to life. No 1970s pictures thank goodness, as they aren't "old Hollywood". I highly recommend this book. It far surpassed my expectations. Most of the photos are full page.
