Customer Reviews

what a bunch of cutie-pies!

i thought the pictures of some of the most handsome cutie-pies of the entertainment world were wonderful. i even loved the large colored photo of guy madison in it! gosh, what a great looking man he was!! i wished i was a grown woman back then. i would have dated him in a heart beat! ha! ha! van johnson, robert walker, and woody harrelson pictures were a delight also. this book is a must have for any woman who loves looking at men a lot or "men watcher's". ha!

A great book on the Greats!

This was a very nice book, and absolutely worth having. I wish the writer included more text. This is particularly so regarding Guy Madison (the cover) whose face, I am sure, sold most of the books before they were even opened. The writer could have mentioned the official Guy Madison Web Site and the web sites for the other subjects in his beautiful book if he wanted to limit text to that extent. In any case, this book is a must for those who love movie culture.

The most in-depth book on the male celebrity I have read yet

I bought this book back in August and it is a treasure! I was not surprised to see ALMOST all of my favorite Hollywood movie stars in here (except Kevin Kline...come on, he's a heartthrob, especially when he takes off his shirt, exposing that beautiful chest). Cary Grant (the ideal), Liam Neeson, Kevin Costner and Harrison Ford (the hunks), Gary Cooper (the hero), Robert Mitchum (the he-man) and Ty Hardin (the stud; check out that absolutely SEXY photo of him with that barrell chest of his) are all in there and they are my favorites in Hollywood. There should have been about ten to fifteen more guys in there (like Mel Gibson, although he is mentioned but where's his picture?; also Billy Zane, Dennis Quaid, Nicholas Cage, and Bruce Willis). This is a great book for any woman who loves to look at a gorgeous guy with a muscular physique and a fearless image. Makes a great gift!

Great Book!

If you are a fan of man, this is an excellant purchase! Great pictures! Would make a excellant gift!

A wonderful comprehensive pictorial of 20th Century Men

A wonderful and comprehensive collection of the 20th Century's most sexually appealing men. The author has grouped them into imaginative categories and the diversity of men is amazing! This is the definitive men's picture book and the author must have gone to great lengths to dig up some of these incredibly beautiful photos.
