Member mpm74 Posted September 17, 2014 Member Share Posted September 17, 2014 Anyone pick this up? http://www.amazon.co.jp/Bruce-Lee-Golden-Movie-Annual/dp/0992680239/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1410940998&sr=8-3&keywords=bruce+lee http://www.amazon.com/Bruce-Lee-Golden-Movie-Annual/dp/0992680239 I like how the description says "Every page in this book has been meticulously restored back to its original press quality" (in other words, scanned from ebay auctions?) lol Description: Bruce Lee: Golden Movie News Annual Originally published in April 1972, GOLDEN MOVIE NEWS was the publicity vehicle for Golden Harvest Studios. The magazine, published by Four Seas publications, was the official home for the latest movie news and gossip from Golden Harvest and their impressive stable of stars including the biggest of them all, Bruce Lee. Prior to signing Bruce Lee in June 1971, Golden Harvest had only been in operation for barely a year, and were starting to become a struggling studio with an uncertain future, until Bruce Lee came along, and of course the rest is history. Bruce Lee: Golden Movie News Annual is a compilation of every article relating to Bruce Lee, from issue one in April 1972, till issue fifteen in June 1973 when Lee himself would have viewed this content, and a month before his untimely passing on July 20th 1973. Every page in this book has been meticulously restored back to its original press quality, giving the reader the best vision of an era when Chinese movie making was on the eve of a Worldwide phenomenon, and Bruce Lee would soon become a household name, synonamous with Kung Fu and action cinema. Loads of colour pages along with a mix of black and white ones too, 181 pages in total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted September 17, 2014 Member Share Posted September 17, 2014 Excellent book for Lee fans. Scanned from original copies of the magazine and cleaned up it looks fantastic as does the design of the book as an annual. Any Lee fan should pick this up as it contains a lot of rare pics as well.

Member masterofoneinchpunch Posted September 17, 2014 Member Share Posted September 17, 2014 80 dollars on Amazon (US). It is hardcover so that is usually a plus (depending on the quality of the binding. I think I will wait for a few reviews before I decide. I am also curious if anyone here has picked it up or is going to (it sounds like David Rees has.) But I certainly would like to see a review or more elaboration on the book since it is so expensive (yes I've paid more for HK books.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted September 17, 2014 Member Share Posted September 17, 2014 Looks like a nice one. Interesting that it's supposed to be a Golden Harvest paper yet the book focuses on Bruce Lee... Is the material in that book essentially focused on Bruce or is it just a way to sell more of these ?
