The Art of Hammer - Posters from the Archive of Hammer Films (Updated Edition)

Item arrived on time and as described. Book published by: Titan Books. Written by: Marcus Hearn. 200 pages. Content: Posters from the archive of Hammer films. Hardback book with dust cover. Book cover art front: Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell. Book cover art back: The Two Faces of Dr Jekyll. Dust cover art front: Dracula A.D. 1972 Dust cover art back: various Hammer movie posters. Has a 4 page written introduction chapter which is easy to read and informative. Thereafter, each chapter has a beautiful selection of Hammer movie posters, with a very brief overview of each poster - name, country, size, illustrator etc; on lovely clean white pages. The posters are incredibly bright and colourful - very much amazing works of art. Sadly, the 2010 - 2015 posters lose that amazing classic Hammer look, for the most part, which is a shame. It's part of what makes Hammer stand out from the rest. Chapters: Introduction. 1950 -1959. 1960 -1969. 1970 -1979. 2010 - 2015. Title Index. This book does not have any Hammer posters from 2016 onwards so is not completely up to date. Overall an amazing book which I can't recommend enough, if you are a Hammer fan or a movie fan in general. It looks amazing and is a great conversation starter when people visit your home and look through the book. Thank you.

A wonderful collection of Hammer Posters covering from the 1950s to some of their most recent productions. A must-read for fans of Hammer

Coffee table sized book that offers a great selection of rare and iconic movie posters that accompanied hammer films through the years. It won't take long to read as there are about 4 pages of writing but this is a visual book and a must have for any fans of hammer or horror movies.

I had been meaning to buy this book for ages and as it was being sold at a good price decided to order a copy and I am glad I did. Beautifully and lovingly put together, containing 192 colour pages of Hammer's film posters from the 1950's up to 1979, from not only the UK but from around the world, many that I had never seen before. I also purchased 'The Hammer Vault' at the same time ( I already have 'The Hammer Story'), written by the same author Marcus Hearn which is another great book and is a part of a four book collection, the other being 'Hammer Glamour' which I will be buying soon. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Giving four stars as the quality of the book its self is very good. The pictures are great. My husband spend 30 minutes looking over the different pictures from each of the markets. The corners were beat up and looked used, but my husband loves this product and he recommends to anyone who has a love of Hammer films.

I just love The art of Hammer posters. The book is just fantastic with lovely art, from a time, when posters were truly wonderful.

This is a wonderful book. It contains all the cinema posters for all the Hammer films in full colour. Marcus Hearn has produced many wonderful books on this subject and this is exceptional quality and a great coffee table book. Really glad to have this in my collection.

I love this book. Full of colour and great pictures of Hammer posters, invokes some great memories.

Abgebildet in diesem Buch sind nur die Plakate von Hammer Film, chronologisch sortiert und mit Angabe des Herkunftsland sowie der Größe in cm. Weitere Informationen zu Filmen gibt es nicht. Die Qualität der Abbildungen ist recht gut und kann allen Filmfans empfohlen werden.

A great array of movie poster art from a wide range of films.

Excelente.

Titan Books and Marcus Hearn have done it again. The team which produced "The Hammer Story" and "Hammer Glamour" have now come out with "The Art of Hammer", a fantastic collection of Hammer film posters. Over 300 posters representing the famous company's output are showcased. All the posters are in color, and some get a full-page picture. Posters from non-English speaking countries are included, and these are some of the most interesting and artistic in the book. Of course Hammer is know best for their Gothic horror films, but Hammer's non-horror productions are presented as well. As for the classic monster movies Hammer fans love, they're all here--the famous poster from "The Mummy", all the Frankensteins, the Draculas--any monster movie kid will go crazy seeing these images. While going through this book, one notices that some of the posters are more exciting than the films that they are advertising! But that was the whole reason for the posters in the first place. You don't have to be a Hammer or monster movie fan to appreciate the great collection of poster artwork here. But if you ARE a Hammer fan, you MUST get this book! Hopefully, Titan Books and Marcus Hearn have many more Hammer-themed books in store.

Un libro de excepcional. Merece la pena.
