Coffee table books don't get much cooler than The Art of Hammer, a collection of iconic film posters from the archives of the legendary British horror film studio behind classics including Dracula, The Curse of Frankenstein and The Quatermass Xperiment. Featuring nearly 300 posters, the book is the first ever collection of these rare film prints. Even better, we've got a cheeky preview of the contents right here.
