Another great book of Murray Garrett's real-world classic Hollywood pix

_Hollywood Moments_ is the followup to lensman Murray Garrett's first collection of pictures, _Hollywood Candid_. During his 27-year career, Garrett specialized in photographing the celebrities of classic Hollywood, not in the somewhat sterile environment of portrait studios, but in their daily activities - on the set, on the town, at home, with their children, or just fooling around. This large, beautifully formatted book, as does the first one, presents many more of his best photographs, as before chiefly drawn from the late 1940's through the early 1960's. Many of the black-and-white photographs printed here are in full-page format, and most photos are accompanied by anecdotes about the circumstances of their taking. Great gift idea for any fan of classic movies!
