Unfortunately, I bought this book sight unseen, based on the solid Graphis reputation. I will not make this mistake again. The majority of the posters look dated (think late 90s). To make matters worse, there are also multiple posters from the same firm/designer and, as each poster gets it's own full-page spread, they really feel like filler. Speaking of filler... the movie poster additions are just sad homages to the overzealous use of Photoshop filters. A better selection of quality posters can be found in any design magazine annual for much less money.
