Summary note

• Novice collectors find they have many questions. What is the difference between an original and a re-issue poster? How do you know if a poster is collectible? What is a press kit, a title card, a window card, a six sheet? Where to you get them? Reliable answers are important, since uninformed purchases can be costly.
• Now novice and experienced collectors alike can turn to Collecting Movie Posters. Everything about movie art is here, from the history of the movie poster to tips on building and caring for a collection. Detailed explanations of terminology, lists of sources, and hints for distinguishing originals from forgeries are among the invaluable resources provided.
