"Starstruck"

Ira Resnick has collected some 2,000 vintage posters and some 1,500 stills and lobby cards in the last 40 years. (Photos here are of Gloria Swanson)

Now 258 posters from his collection are reproduced in his book "Starstruck," which came out earlier this month. More than just a picture book of some of the most beautiful and rare posters from 1912 to 1962, "Starstruck" also is an exploration of one man's unending passion. (Resnick will be at Book Soup in West Hollywood on March 14 to sign copies of the book.)
