A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 9 1/4" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 512 pages) (Learn More) Art Ducko: An Illustrated History of the Marx Brothers, the 2018 Daniel E. Kinske illustrated movie book (with a foreword by Bill Marx). This is an incredible book! Daniel Kinske spent FIFTEEN YEARS assembling far and away the world's greatest collection of images on the Marx Brothers, with the intention of publishing them in a book (incredibly rare early photos, and also images of just about every lobby card and movie poster known to exist)! He kept delaying printing because he would keep finding a few more images, but he finally realized it was time to publish this book and now he has! It is an incredibly lavish full-color coffee table book, with an art cover by Drew Struzan (see below). The book is massive, both in size and page count, and it weighs just under SIX POUNDS! Daniel always wanted it to be a limited edition, and there are only 505 copies (all numbered on the front cover, in the printing!). See this auction for images of the cover and three of the interior two page spreads, but we assure you that this is one of the most remarkable movie books you have ever seen (if you go to Daniel's original website for the book at https://artduckobooko.com/, you can find examples of many other interior pages).

Artist: Drew Struzan Important Added Info: Note that since this book was published in 2018, we have seen just two examples of it auctioned on eBay, and both sold for over $200 each. We suspect that most of the people who bought this book are quite happy to keep it! In 2019, we were consigned an example of this book, and it sold for $270! Now we have been consigned another example of the book a year later, and this one is numbered 51/505, which is actually printed on the front cover (see our image)! Also note that we have pictured the front cover and three interior 2-page spreads. Condition: very good. The book has small "bumps" at three of the corners of the cover and a lesser amount of wear in the other corner. This occurred during shipping, and it is likely true with almost every example of this book (it just weighs so much). Otherwise, the book is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
