Film historian Ira M. Resnick shares the best of his superb, never-before-published movie poster collection in Starstruck: Vintage Movie Posters from Classic Hollywood, which features vivid reproductions of 250 images from a golden age of Hollywood — 1912 to 1962.

A one-of-a-kind art book, Starstruck combines cinematic history, a guide to poster collecting, first-hand anecdotes, and dramatic artwork — a blend of genres that makes it unlike any other movie poster book.

Resnick offers entertaining stories about how he managed to acquire such stellar examples of movie poster art, as well as historical information about the stars and films featured in his collection. Bonus material includes a list of Resnick's 50 favorite one-sheets, advice for the movie poster collector, a glossary of terms and poster sizes, and a forward by esteemed director Martin Scorsese.

A must-have book for every collector and film buff, Starstruck offers a beautifully illustrated, personal tour of a bygone age of the motion picture advertising industry.
