Hi, J.R.
I don't know about other collectors, but I definitely like British
quads. It just seems that they appear a lot more than US 30x40's. Hey, I
probably have 50 30x40's and almost as many 40x60's in a closet
somewhere...only
a few really good titles, though. I've had them since the early 90's. I
kind of think they appeared more frequently back then...maybe it was just
because I had a source to get them..

Rick,
What, they don't like 30"x40" British Quads?
I know, I know Quads ain't vertical.... I can understand the "big impact"
that a 40x60 brings to the wall space (yet still more manageable than a
3-sheet) generating collector enthusiasm, but I'm perplexed people would get
all hot over vertical 30x40 posters... I mean, they are only 3 inches wider
than a vintage one-sheet, but a full 1-inch *shorter*. A one-sheet has
1080 square inches and a 30x40 only has 120 square inches more at 1200 total
-- and most of that goes into the wider borders that 30x40s tended to have.
Some had different imagery, yes, but "better" imagery than the one sheet?
Not most that I've seen.

Rick,
Funny you should mention that, the book actually compares the images of
the 27x41, 40x60's AND 30x40's. I wanted to show exactly what you pointed
out, that these posters were also printed in very limited amounts and often
have different images from the each other. Also, very few have survived
because they too were sometimes used outside like the 40x60's.

With all this discussion about 40x60's, it seems as if any attention
regarding 30x40's has fallen by the wayside. Over the years, I've had too many
customers to count who, after purchasing their first 30x40 became so
enamored with the fact that they were rolled and, unlike 1-sheets from the
late
70's back, had no fold marks---that they would ask me to please let them know
as soon as I got in more 30x40's. (Also, their size is much closer to the
size of a one sheet that a 40x60's size). I doubt that there were more
30x40's printed than 40x60's. It's a bit strange, though, how there is
hardly any mention of 30x40's at all. Were the unique designs of 50's Sci-Fi
or
other genres limited primarily to 40x60's? I know of one collector who
has been looking for a 30x40 on Chinatown for the past 10 years...and he'll
continue to search until he finds one.
A one sheet just won't do. He's among a small group of fanatical 30x40
collectors I've met over the years.
In each of there cases, all it took was buying their first 30x40's on one
of their favorite titles and they were hooked. A 40x60 wouldn't do,
either. It had to be a 30x40.
