Amazon has an extensive list of movie poster books with well over 200 titles covering all forms of genre and categories. Our favorite picks include A Century of Movie Posters: From Silent to Art House by Emily King, and Picture Show: Classic Movie posters from the TCM Archives by Dianna Edwards, et al; these are two interesting books that will surely provide one of the most interesting collection of pictures of some of the best movie posters ever.

There is also a great guide to collecting movie posters that we would like to recommend; this is a 400-pager written by Ed and Susan Pole - Learn About Movie Posters.

More information on these selected movie poster books is given below:

A Century of Movie Posters by E. King represents an interesting collection of hundreds of posters displayed over four chapters in an essentially chronological order from the birth of the cinema to present day.

Each chapter contains a brief sketch of relevant film-industry history, and a number of two to four-page subchapters grouping posters by style, director, studio, actor, nationality, and occasionally, also by poster artist.

The visual imagery is fantastic with color that seems true to the source posters. King does a good job of describing the artwork and typography so as to explain the intent of the designers. Overall, this is a well-written and informative book. Highly recommended. More info here.

'Picture Show' is a collection of movie posters from Turner Classic Movie's library of over 3500 vintage films. 

This is a relatively over-sized poster book (measuring 12.1x9.1x0.7inches), that reprints hundreds of movie posters. Poster pictures of lesser known films normally share the page with two to three others, while greater classics are reprinted in full page glory.

The book begins with a short history of movie posters and the explanation of 'One-sheets' 'Half-Sheets', etc., before breaking down the posters into several different chapters.

Overall, this is an excellent book filled with beautiful visual presentations and an excellent commentary. More info here.

Learn About Movie Posters by Ed & Susan Pole answers all important questions collectors need to know about this fascinating hobby.

It is the most comprehensive guide ever compiled on original movie posters and how to collect them, and will serve both the seasoned collector and the film enthusiast who is just looking at the idea of owning a few authentic posters to hang up on the walls of his or her home theater.

Topics covered include a short history about the birth of the movie poster, size, type and common forms of movie art, what is an authentic movie poster and what makes certain posters valuable, how these were processed and distributed, movie posters as an investment, grading the condition of original movie posters, where and how to buy or sell movie posters, caring for your investment, etc.

All the information in this poster book is useful, clear, and addresses all areas in which questions will naturally arise. This is a must have. More info here.
