I think anyone growing up in the 80s will love this book. Well if you are a movie fan of course, but who isn't? It was quite nice to browse through the pages and look at all the wonderful (and sometimes quite weird) covers. Mostly are these movies I have never seen, hell mostly never heard of and I thought I was a movie buff. But it was great to read this book and I got a bit nostalgic. Just think it wasn't many years ago I had a collection of VHS now I just have a couple left...

Anyway, it was a nice book, perfect if you are a movie buff that likes old movies.

Here are some covers from the book, I will just pick some random ones. I did take a lot of screencaps and I can't post them all...:P






I have actually seen The Survivor and Fire and Ice...lol

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a free copy for an honest review!… (plus d'informations)

One of those interesting finds from my retro awesome brother.

As a child of the 80s in a small rural town, one of the few forms of entertainment included renting movies on VHS. Before it became hipster fun to make bad movies on purpose, diverging from the popular blockbuster section was often view at your own risk. There was no Amazon app to warn you of potential wastes of money.

Vhs: Video Cover Art is a nice, often hilarious, trip down memory lane. See the lovely riff-offs of Rambo and Mel Gibson-ish characters. The over-the-top illustrations and graphics. The cheesy, totally-fake-now horror makeup. Fair warning, some of the covers are from Europe and have some nudity.

Overall, fun for kicks and giggles. A very nice conversation piece for those obsessed with this unique point in history.… (plus d'informations)
