Essential to a Hollywood stills reference library

This beautifully printed volume belongs on your Hollywood shelf beside the works of Kobal, Trent & Lawton, Vieira, and anything else on or by George Hurrell. A brief 30-page recap of the history of still photography in the movie industry is followed by 255 pages showing examples of the work of 43 of the most notable stills men (including two women) who snapped the stars, scenes, and environment of the movies during their first 60 years. A brief chronology of the career (as far as it is known) of each photog is included. All the photos are given their best reproduction on heavy enameled (I believe that's the term) paper. It does make you wish more books containing work by Ted Allan, Bob Coburn, and other Hurrell contemporaries had been published.
