THE ART OF HARRY ANDERSON
Highly Recommended. This beautiful new book explores the life and work of Harry Anderson, one of America's great illustrators. His buttery style in the difficult medium of opaque watercolor has been admired by generations of artists. He reminds us very favorably of Andrew Loomis and, no surprise, he also worked in the famous Haddon Sundblom studio in the 1940s, as did Loomis. His work appeared in Collier's, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, Redbook, The Saturday Evening Post and other leading magazines. Over 300 stunning illustrations. Illustrated Press, 2018...More.

20TH CENTURY ALCOHOL & TOBACCO ADS
Recommended. By Allison Silver, Steven Heller. Edited by Jim Heimann. Vices or virtues: drinking and smoking provided marketers with products to be forged into visual feasts. In this lush compendium of advertisements, we explore how depictions of these commodities spanned from the elegant to the bizarre, revealing how manufacturers seduced their customers throughout the 20th century to imbibe and inhale. Famous artists from George Petty wih his pin-up girls to Leyendecker with his handsome, richly appointed couples made it all look very cool. More than half the book looks at 1900 to 1969, to us the most interesting years. Taschen, 2018...More.

COBY WHITMORE Artist and Illustrator
Limited, 1000. Highly Recommended. For over 30 years, Coby Whitmore's elegant and fashionable illustrations graced the pages of almost every major American magazine. Sophisticated, with imaginative compositions, brilliant use of color, superb draftsmanship, and good taste, his pictures represented the "Good Life" in the post-war U.S. They are also most notable for their glamorous women--the ideal of American sophistication and beauty. Of all of the "boy/girl" artists working in those days, none were more admired or imitated than Coby Whitmore. Illustrated Press, 2018. Due June. ...More.

ART OF EDWIN GEORGI
Limited, 1000. Our Highest Recommendation. By Daniel Zimmer. This spectacular new book explores the life and work of illustrator Edwin Georgi (1896-1964)--the first book ever on his work. Yet he is one of the stand-out artists of his era, creating magazine illustrations beginning in the late 1920s, but blossoming into a leader in the field in the 1940s-50s. "Mid-career, he developed a radical new approach--bold even by today's standards--featuring a brilliant kaleidoscope of colors. At the center of attention were his fashionable women, always fresh and shockingly gorgeous." Illustrated Press, 2017...More.

THE LIFE AND ART OF BERNIE FUCHS
Almost Gone! Limited, 1000! Recommended. By David Apatoff. Forward by Walt Reed. At the peak of his fame Bernie Fuchs' work was more widely admired—and imitated—than any other contemporary illustrator. At the age of 30 he was named "Artist of the Year" by the Artists Guild of New York. By 1975, he was the youngest illustrator ever elected to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame. Now at last a major retrospective of Bernie's work has been assembled, the first such book published to date, filled with magazine covers, original paintings and a complete look at his career, which was incredibly wide ranging.

Almost Gone! Limited, 1000! Second Printing. Our Highest Recommendation. By Daniel Zimmer. Originally released in late-2015 in a limited edition of only 1000 copies, The Art of Dean Cornwell sold out very quickly. If you missed out on the first printing, you may have seen them selling for big bucks in the after-market. After receiving numerous requests for a reprint, this is the result. This spectacular book explores the life and work of the "Dean of Illustrators." FULL COLOR throughout and entirely new. It's filled with beautiful illustrations reproduced almost exclusively from the original paintings and drawings. Illustrated Press, 2017. Out of Print....More.

Out of Print and Almost Gone

 

This week we begin a new feature to run roughly once each month, replacing Bargain Books and Rare and Out of Print entries for that week. This is to draw your attention to books that have gone out of print from the publisher and will soon be sold out from us. I've included notes about each one and I'll let you know how many we have left so you can plan accordingly—or act immediately! All are subject to prior sale, since this is only accurate as I write this, in this case on March 21.



BERNIE WRIGHTSON Art and Designs For The Gang of Seven Animation
Highly Recommended. Preface by Wm. Michael Kaluta. Bernie Wrightson‘s extensive design work for the Gang of Seven Animation Studio has never before been documented and if you are like we are, this is going to be entirely new material to you.

This new in-depth monograph utilizes the archives of the studio and features concept drawings, model sheets, and hundreds of designs for projects including Biker Mice From Mars, The Juice, and Freak Show. All of the artwork in this book has been scanned directly from the original artwork so fans can savor Wrightson’s genius up close and personal. Hermes, 2017. Out of Print....More.

This sold out almost immediately from Diamond. We were lucky enough to get one reorder when we saw how fast it was selling, and we still have some copies left at the original retail price. Since Berni passed away, interest in his work is at an all-time high, and this is fine material from a phase of his career that even his fans may not have known about. The artwork here has never before been collected.

Our Highest Recommendation. By Hal Foster. Hal Foster is in five artistic Halls of Fame--more than any other illustrator. Fantagraphics' recent reprints of Prince Valiant have received international acclaim, and now they are printing the Holy Grail of comics art: a 160-page collection scanned from Foster's rare, original pages (drawn in black & white, pen and ink) and printed in full color.

BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT PLAY ARTS KAI BATGIRL Action Figure
Recommended. We're very impressed with both the statue itself, the bonus extras, and the extremely attractive packaging. Square Enix brings the character to life with this new Play Arts KAI figure!

TAPESTRY The Paintings of Robert McGinnis
Publisher File Copy. Highly Recommended. Edited by Cathy and Arnie Fenner. Though his work is instantly recognizable to most Americans, his name may not be. Yet Robert McGinnis's paintings have for decades graced many an airport bookrack, and his movie posters (for You Only Live Twice, Thunderball, Barbarella, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and The Odd Couple) are classics of the genre. His illustrations have appeared in magazines as diverse as Playboy, Saturday Evening Post, and Guideposts. His long-legged, lanky women sold literally millions of paperback covers for authors like Carter Stevens and John D. MacDonald. Underwood Books, 2000. Out of Print....More.

FRANK FRAZETTA ICON Hardcover
Comes with bonus second dust jacket! Highly Recommended. Edited by Cathy and Arnie Fenner. Art by Frank Frazetta.

Mature Readers

Two new videos this week, both in the Peekarama series. Velvet High and Summertime Blue is a double feature of school girl fantasies, originally released 1979-80, directed by John Christopher. With Misty Regan, John Holmes, and Samantha Fox.

Second up is a Triple Feature: Sinful Pleasures of Reverend Star, Kinky Treats, and China Lust. Originally released 1976-77, directed by Charles Santos. With Linda Wong, Desiree West, and Veronica Taylor. See our website for all the Peekarama Double Features and other adult DVDs.

Advance tip: we had stashed some single copies of Cavewoman variant editions and just put a few of them on the site this week. We have a four-issue set, Snow, and 4 versions of the two comic set Mutation. Look for “Almost Gone” starting the description to find these among the other Cavewoman issues.

We also are just listing Bunny Yeager's Foto File magazines, including a set of five for $250, which includes issues devoted to Bettie Page and Diane Webber, and two issues signed by Bunny. See FOTOSET and FOTO01, 02, etc.
