congrats! my girlfriend got that for me when we first started going out a few years ago. she knows nothing about movies and only heard me once say I like the Criterion label, and surprised me with this gift for our first Christmas together. you will enjoy the book immensely.
Congrats on an awesome find. I love when Criterion does things like this. They used to issue postcards of releases too back in the day. They would put them in random DVD releases. I am really happy for you. Enjoy and keep reading, designing and collecting.
@@FilmsByColor, Yes, I've gotten quite a few over the years. It was so exciting to get one and also they used to provide a pamphlet of forthcoming releases, we are still waiting for some of those releases from the late 90's early 2000's!
Holy moly this is awesome! I had no idea this even existed! 8:35 Monsters and Madmen artwork by the GOAT: Darwyn Cooke! One of the greatest storytellers to ever live, and the best comic book artist ever, if you ask me.
I, too, just ordered my copy of this holy grail from an online bookseller in "like new" condition for $225. Thanks for the book tour, and thanks for all the effort and quality you've been putting into your channel. I'm enjoying it!
I have been waiting for them to make an new updated version with added new designs and covers! But if it never happens I might go hunting for this one too!
Green for Danger is one of my favourite ever films. I wish Criterion would make an upgrade for it. Plus a post for me to frame on my wall. I adore the artwork for it.
Use WD-40 to get the sticker off. It wipes away easily after the glue is gone. Just use Simple Green or 409 to clean up remaining solution. You can buff out with a microfiber cloth after that.
Picked this up myself 2 years ago when I started to pick up the OOP criterion blus. I'm glad I did because it looks like it's selling for about 2.5x what I got it for then

Whoa! What an amazing gift! She sounds like a keeper
@@FilmsByColor popping the question in 2 weeks :)
I gotta watch the rest of Fritz Lang's filmography. And that book is amazing.
You've gotta watch "M" if you haven't yet.
I had no idea that this existed and now I want it badly.
You gotta get one!
WOOHOOOOO! Congratulations. It's always good to find those treasures and this is really quite special. Enjoy!💗
Thank you! Feels great to finally have this one. And thanks for your lovely comment!
That's just marvelous.
It really is. We need a Vol. 2 soon!
@FilmsByColor fully agree there
You being a graphic designer I can definitely see why this is the best of both worlds for you. Very cool!
Yeah it’s the perfect item for me. So pumped to finally have one. Thanks for watching!
It truly is a great book. I go back to it regularly. I hope they do a follow up continuing where they left off.
I have it and it is beautiful!!
It really is. Glad you were able to find one too. Thanks for the comment!
Boy, it's marvelous!

Thanks, Henry! I’ve heard of those postcards. Did you ever get any?
I miss those postcards!

Congrats, DJ! That looks like a great book.
Thanks, Kevin!
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Holy moly this is awesome! I had no idea this even existed!

I’ve still gotta grab that box set. Have you watched those yet?
A must have. Yours looks like a really clean copy too

Congrats, Mike! You’re gonna love the book. It’s amazing. And thanks for the kind words. Really glad you’re enjoying the videos.

Good luck if you decide to go for one. I hope you find a copy. I’d love a Volume 2 at some point!
@@FilmsByColor Thanks! Me too!
Nice looking book, this is going on my hunt list now!
Good luck on your quest!
Man that's awesome! Criterion blu rays are the best, and I love movie poster art. That book looks wonderful.
Oh wow, I didn’t know you collected Criterion, Robert?
Oh damn that’s awesome! Congrats man.
Thanks, man!
It's beatiful!❤

I’ll have to seek that one out. Is it only available on DVD?
Wow, that's cool.
Sick!...nice find!

Its going for $250-$275 on eBay right now. Amacord is top five packaging IMO.
Damn, I have that book
"Green for Danger" is a brill British movie, 9/10 a who did it it, you will never guess who did it.
Nice. I picked this up when it first came out. I wish they would do a version 2 with new stuff.
Wow, I looked it up. I had no idea they were going for that much.
Yeah it’s crazy expensive now. Do you remember how much you paid for it new?
@@FilmsByColor $80
Add another zero and you can pre-order a box set. Lol
Had this book. It suffered irreparable water damage due to a flood and had to be binned 😢
This book costs $80 at the time (2014), still have the original order email. I actually was going to order 2 just I case. Should have.
I guess Godzilla when you showed the size
i was wrong
Leave the sticker. 50-100 years from now it will be a cool little extra.
This is not my serious comment, but I am doing laundry right now and losing my will to live.
