But,including color images in Black and White books was too expensive for the publishers to include them. Following are the images Ive been saving for just such a volume as this, and it is presented with my thanks, to the many collector who allowed me to photograph their collections, and to Ben Ohmart of Bearmanor Media for publishing it PLEASE NOTE: One of the billboards from The Phantom of the Opera and the billboard (or 24 sheet) from Dracula were reconstructed in Adobe Photoshop.
