Free Downloads Western Movie Photographs And Autographs
America sees the cowboys of yesteryear as native heroes. Cowboys were seen to represent American character and to stand for freedom in rugged big sky lands. Cowboys were tough, self-reliant, courageous, modest, and only turned to violence when absolutely necessary. With a reputation like that, it is no wonder that since the very first reel was created, the Western has been the single most popular movie genre. In this comprehensive guide, readers will find over 2000 Western movie star's photos and signatures from the 1920s to the 1970s. Also included are values for all those signed images and every star presented is identified. Among the cowboy heroes and heroines covered are the stars of the 1920s silent Westerns, the "A" and "B" movie stars of the 1930s through the 1960s, singing cowboys, sidekicks, heavies, Indians, women, veteran actors, supporting actors, and, of course, John Wayne. Enjoy this nostalgic ride through American cinema history.

I bought this book and think it was worth the money. It has a lot of good content, color pages are of good quality and the book was constructed well. Subject matter was pretty good although Mr Owens left a few Western Movie Icons out but for the most part, I'm happy with the book and have told friends in the collecting field to get a copy. If you only buy it to see autographs of stars which will probably never come up for sale (I did for John Doucette) it's worth the price. It's a good reference guide against "Fakes".
Fans of western movies, especially the B-western Saturday afternoon matinees, should find this book delightful. Primarily it consists of gorgeous photo after photo (most autographed) of individuals who appeared in screen westerns during the silent era, during the singing cowboy era, in bigger-budget studio westerns, and during the booming TV western era. For fans who have attended western film festivals over the years, the book will reinforce memories of the "stars" and the autographed photos they inscribed and signed.
Excellent book for collectors. It is a book to be enjoyed and always be available on the shelf. Great photos of the great idols of westerns. I recommend to all lovers of this genre immortal.
To whom it may concern, this book is fantastic, it met my expect ions and I am enjoying greatly., being on a fixed income when something like this comes along ,Makes it more enjoyable, l have been western fan for well over 60 years, I e - mile Clint walker when ever I can and have almost everything he has done on DVDs , vhs , music and enjoy all he has done. Thanks for a wonderful product., Michael Bibb .
Many of the autographs were hard to see and many stars did not have autographs shown. Most importantly, the prices given for autographs were very greatly overstated in almost all cases. A very big disappointment.
PICTURES ARE GREAT AND IT IS A GOOD SOURCE TO CONFIRM AUTOGRAPHS. I FEEL HOWEVER PRICES ARE OVER DONE.
