Need information about thai poster book series

Hello

I am here in Bangkok now and I am searching for a serie of books which were printed many years ago

They were 5 or 7 volumes (can't remember....many) reproducing almost every poster for thai movies

It was not the "A century of thai cinema" (which is just a single volume)....they were in horizontal format and printed in very, very limited quantities by some local cultural organization

I saw 2 or 3 of them and I also had pictures of them but I deleted them all a couple of years ago. I knw the whole serie is amlost impossible to find - even local collectors and poster sellers here don't have the full serie - but I just need to have a pic of them or to remind the title of this serie

If you have some info, please PM me

The Thai film archives has released books regarding all Thai movies. First one is about Thai movies until year 1957 and the second one is all movies until 1965. I bought the first one but not yet the second one just released a few months ago

I sent a message to a Thai friend having a shop in Chatujak market and selling posters during week-end.She will check and feedback me about the name. It seems very difficult to find but she still has one title in her private collection

no, the books i am talking about are not the two released by thai film archive - i just bought yesterday the recent vol. 2.
And it is not even the ChatriChalerm Yukol book

The last time I saw 2 volumes from this serie was from a guy selling posters at Panthip 2, at the 6th floor (not the top floor, but the floor under it where there are some cd/dvd stalls...i haven't seen that guy this year, don't know if he still has a shop. tomorrow i'll check). he was using those book to take information for the poster he had for sale. And he also told me that it's really hard to get the whole serie.
Me and my friend Steve living here in BKK had pictures of these books but we deleted them, and we both try to find some copies for sale for years. At Panthip 2 they were used to have one or two volumes of this serie around 3/4 years ago...


They are in horizontal format

so, ok, I could finally get informations....and another "myth" is gone. All the scarce information I got until now were wrong.

There are 4 volumes only, of this serie - apparently, as I was told right today:

-Vol. 1: is the "100 years of thai cinema"
-Vol. 2 is not about thai movies. It seems there are only international action movies
-Vol. 3 is the one shown in the pic
-Vol. 4 is aout new thai movies of the late 90's or early 00's


Vol. 3:
