Abrams, 2012. First edition oversized hardback, a Fine- copy with wear at points, sans dust jacket, as issued. (Note: The wear on the front cover lettering is faux-wear, as you can tell from the same faux-wear on the title and half-title page.) Hammett has a truly amazing poster collection, possibly on par with that of Robert V. Borst (documented in <b>Graven Images<\/b>), whose range of collection included more science fiction and fantasy than Hammett. Bought for \u00a312 marked down from \u00a320. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_0422.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_0422-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0422\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_0422-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_0422-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_0427.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_0427-300x213.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0427\" width=\"300\" height=\"213\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_0427-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawrenceperson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_0427-1024x727.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video on the book and Hammett&#8217;s collection:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_gMUtYWo6Tg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett is one of the world&#8217;s premiere collectors of horror movie posters and memorabilia (toys, games, masks, etc.).
