Description:

"READ" poster
Bill Cosby and friends for America's Libraries
Copyright 1984 American Library Association. 
Produced by Marketing By Design.

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 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).
 
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: 
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.
