Wow. Didn't know the gentleman but I was just ruminating on the idea of walk-in
movie poster stores. We had three in San Francisco that I recall: Memory Shop
West, run by a nice woman named Carol York, The Cinema Shop, and Cinemonde,
Jose ma Carpio's place. I remember walking into the Cinema Shop and buying a
one sheet from "It Came from Outer Space" for a whopping $25, a fortune at the
time (1975).
Cinemonde was a bit too upscale for the likes of me. I always felt like I had
farted in church when I walked in the store.
In general, it was great to have a place to walk into and be able to learn
about movie poster history...actually, back then, that was pretty much the ONLY
way to speak Poster Geek with another human being.
