    Dawn poster books

    Who's got one of the Dawn of the Dead poster books? A few years ago they were available thru Tom Savini's website savini.com but I never purchased one. I've checked back a few times and it looks like they sold out of them.
    Know where to get one these days?

    You lucky dog you! You saying you got yours back in the 70's when the film was running?
    It was like I remember sometime around 03 that Tom was offering them on his website.

    they are as ugly as all hell
    really not impressive except for 'collector' value.

    I got rid of most of my Romero collection,
    Cap got a bunch of it, if i find another poster book
    Ill send it to you.

    dont waste your money buying one,
    in my opinion they are not worth it.

    now i will allow the fact that others have
    the complete opposite view as me, and u
    can listen to whom you choose.

    There is one on Ebay right now for $95 signed
    by Savini. Go for it if u want it.

    I'll have to take you up on that. If anything it'd be a neat companion for collecting autographs from our four favorite heroes. Keep me informed.

    Hey bro I'll give you a hand. Whatever you do don't let it find it's way into your next yard sale.

    The poster art inside the poster book is nothing short of beautiful, not to be written off as mere collector value.

    You mean one of these http://www.homepageofthedead.com/baps/dawnpb.html

    yeah at a convention in Birmingham a few years back....you could get them quite easily off ebay for a while.

    I seem to remember Tom Savini had found a bunch of them in his attic in like 1997 and was offering them on his website...I only remember that well because I had to use my college's internet to access the site which was on Windows 3.1 - I had no internets to speak of....I left that college in 98...

    but in answer to the previous question - I was unfortunately a couple of years from being concieved when Dawn was released

    I need to find me one. I have a t-shirt, playing cards, and a 2001 convention poster from the Monroeville Mall. The poster book would go good with what I have.

    I think the actual item can be had for under $40. I haven't ever seen a reprint floating around.
