Clint Eastwood VIP Cinema – (German
text) written by Berndt Schulz is a book which is part of a series that also
featured Robert De Niro, Don Johnson and Nick Nolte. As I recall, I remember
picking up this book from a German seller at a film fair in London. It is
generally well-illustrated throughout in both colour and b/w. The reproductions
of stills are also of a good quality. The book is a large paperback format measuring
approx. 11.5” x 9.5” in size and consists of 80 pages. It was published in
Germany by VIP publishing in 1993 and covers Clint’s career up through to A
Perfect World. There are also some nice colour pictures covering the Oscars win
for Unforgiven, the film that is also used for illustrating the books front cover.
There is also a terrific colour shot of Clint taken on location from Magnum
Force, sitting on a chair at the shipyard. It’s a lovely shot which I can’t
recall seeing anywhere else. Overall, it’s a pretty nice publication. Availability
for this particular book is a little on the tough side, you don’t see too many
copies around these days especially on Amazon. However, it does show up
occasionally on Ebay (more often from Germany) and usually with a £5.00
starting price.
