Customer Reviews

A collection of Hollywood's greatest glamor photos.
Mr. Kobal has put together the greatest collection of glamor photos anywhere. Hollywood's biggest stars and greatest photographers are represented in this book. I ended up buying two copies. One for my library and one for the photos. I scanned some, framed some, and even sent some away for autographs. Hedy Lamarr liked her photo so much she never returned it

Images From A Bygone Era
Where to start? This is almost a wordless book filled with 145 glamour shots from the "Golden Age" of Hollywood. I would say that the book is a work of "art" and contains the work of many masters of still photography of the era. Some of the photos are truly stunning an deserve to be shown in the top Museums in world. The book uses high quality, acid-free paper and strong binding that enhances the book as a collectable. It would make a nice piece to anyone's collection of art books and you will page through it every so often. The reason that I did not give the book a higher rating is because it is quite short, it's a paperback and does contain many average works (in my opinion).

My personal favs were: Carole Lombard, Jean Harlow and Louise Brooks.

thank you for your time, David

A wonderful collection of photos for all classic film fans..
Here is a beautiful book with some breathtaking photos of some the hottest Hollywood film stars of the golden era. The quality of the first and oldest photos are not the best, but one can see an improvement as the years go by. What makes these photos so special are the talented actors who can portray just about any emotion the photographer calls for and his ability to capture it on film. The best ones at this is Joan Crawford and Marlene Dietrich.

My favorite is one of Carole Lombard on page 40. It will knock your socks off. I too wish these books came in hardcover, but then it wouldn't be as affordable. A wonderful addition to your library and for anyone who loves the old movie stars.
