You are bidding on an official American Library Association (ALA Publishing) poster from their Celebrity READ campaign.  Created by the ALA in 1985, each READ poster features a famous person posing with their favorite book (or books).  All celebrities are chosen because of his/her popularity, appeal and visibility to a general audience.  The ALA tries to feature a range of diverse talent who would be great spokespersons for reading to both adults and children.  If you've ever visited your local library (which you hopefully have), you've probably seen a poster like this with an actor, musician or other star persona spotlighted.

This particular poster features George Burns holding his autobiography Dear George: Advice and Answers from America's Leading Expert on Everything from A to B ...and one of his trademark cigars!  This was part of the second series in ALA's Celebrity READ posters, released in 1986 (the two celebs from the 2nd set were Goldie Hawn and George).
 
A great back-to-school gift, for your child's room or college dorm...or, celebrate the kids leaving the nest by turning their old room into your new study/library, and hang this fantastic poster there!


CONDITION:
I would consider this poster excellent, suitable for framing.  However, because of its age it cannot be considered "mint."  It is a bit wavy from rolled storage, but I would imagine it could be flattened, and should be no issue if framed.  No evidence of tape removal or tack marks from being displayed, and the corners are all still sharp.

CONDITION:
Unfortunately, there are some stray pink/purple ink pen marks on the bottom left corner of this poster, and one on the back as well.  I'm not sure if there is a way to erase this.  Otherwise, it is in pretty nice shape.  No evidence of tape removal or tack holes from being displayed, and the corners are all still sharp.

This particular poster features Paul Newman stretched out on a pool table, reading Star Warriors by William Broad.  Certainly, the pose/setting is an homage to Newman's classic poolhall films, The Hustler and its recent sequel The Color Of Money...but I like to think of this as the classy version of Burt Reynolds' Cosmo pic.  This was part of the third series in ALA's Celebrity READ posters, released in 1987 (the 3rd set included David Bowie and Diahann Carrol, along with Mr. Newman).

This particular poster features comedian Bill Cosby wearing a Temple sweatshirt, reading Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson to a group of kids that includes Keshia Knight Pulliam (his co-star "Rudy" from The Cosby Show).  This was the very first poster in ALA's Celebrity READ series, released in 1985 (the 1st set included Bette Midler, Bill Cosby, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Sting).

CONDITION: 
Because of its age and because it was once displayed at a library, this poster does have signs of wear.  There is a tear near the upper right-hand side and signs of tape removal from hanging (at the corners and at the top).  However, I do believe these defects could be cropped out by a border, if you were to frame this poster, and still preserve the main image.

Keep your electric eye on this, babe!  You are bidding on an official American Library Association (ALA Publishing) poster from their Celebrity READ campaign.  Created by the ALA in 1985, each READ poster features a famous person posing with their favorite book (or books).  All celebrities are chosen because of his/her popularity, appeal and visibility to a general audience.  The ALA tries to feature a range of diverse talent who would be great spokespersons for reading to both adults and children.  If you've ever visited your local library (which you hopefully have), you've probably seen a poster like this with an actor, musician or other star persona spotlighted.

This particular poster features David Bowie in a "Roots" letterman jacket, reading The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (The Idiot was also the title of Iggy Pop's first solo album, which was written and recorded with Bowie).  David's poster was part of the third series of ALA's Celebrity READ posters, released in 1987 (the 3rd set included Diahann Carrol and Paul Newman, along with The Thin White Duke). 

This poster was re-issued by the ALA in 2016, due to popular demand after Bowie's passing, but THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FROM '87!
 
A great back-to-school gift, for your child's room or college dorm...or, celebrate the kids leaving the nest by turning their old room into your new study/library, and hang this fantastic poster there!


CONDITION: 
I would consider this poster in great shape, suitable for framing even.  However, because of its age and because it was once displayed at a library, it cannot be considered "mint."  There are some faded signs of tape removal from hanging (at the corners, and between the letters "R" and "E" in the word READ near the top, as well as at the bottom edge below the heel of Bowie's foot), but the poster itself does not seem to have faded much or at all.  Very, very minimal wrinkling or other aging, and the corners are still sharp.
