Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine dj. Reprint. [nice clean copy with no discernible wear to either book or jacket]. (Movie Icons) Series (B&W and color photographs) There are certainly better (and definitely bigger) books about Steve McQueen than this small-format tome (6"x8"), but if you're in search of a kind of "essence of McQueen," you couldn't do much better. There's an intelligent introductory essay, "Steve McQueen: King of Cool," by Alain Silver, followed by a "Visual Filmography," which takes up the heart of the book and presents stills from all his films (all credited to The Kobal Collection, and beautifully reproduced in the best Taschen manner). The Chronology, Filmography (alas with just the director's credit, plus McQueen's role) and Bibliography are all quite brief, but that doesn't take away from its pleasure as a pictorial survey of his career. All text and captions are in English, German and French. The original 2007 Taschen edition seems to have been issued as a paperback only; this edition (hardcover with dust jacket) appears to have been produced basically for the American remainder market, yet seems to be less common than the paperback. Go figure.
