Thread: Looking for Special Make-Up Effects Books

Tweet

Hello Everyone!

Does anyone on Halloween Forum have copies of Special Make-Up Effects by Vincent J-R Kehoe or A Complete Guide to Special Effects Makeup: Conceptual Artwork by Japanese Makeup Artists books that you are willing to sell?

Cordially,
Anthony Rattin

I don't but found the first one on Amazon & it seems affordable:

Amazon.com: Special Makeup Effects for Stage and Screen: Making and Applying Prosthetics (9780240809960): Todd Debreceni: Books



The Japanese one is hella expensive though!! Hope you find it somewhere for cheap!!
Amazon.com: A Complete Guide to Special Effects Makeup: Conceptual Artwork by Japanese Makeup Artists (9784766118339): Graphic-Sha: Books

Also, check with your local bookstore to see if they can order it for you. I know my Barnes & Noble will order anything still in print and not charge for delivery if you pick it up in the store. Someone on the Amazon reviews for the Japanese book said they did that and got it for under $40 bucks (but I just checked their site and it's used for over $800. Go to a store and ask a real person and you might get a different answer)

Yeah it's worth a shot. Also call any & all used bookstores in your area.

Thank you very much for your response.

I had attempted to order both books from Amazon.com, but they had cancelled the order and informed me that their suppliers could were unable to obtain the books.

I have tried other suppliers as well; Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc. with the same end result.

Have just purchased a used copy of the Kehoe book but will continue to search for the other.

The Japanese Special Effects makeup is out of print. I had seen it on a website called deep discount. They had it for around $20. I will keep an eye out for you when I go book shopping.
