"I think these (film posters) are a very important element especially in the field of arts and craft and creativity. A 100 years from now when our future generation will come across this book, they will have a great opportunity to see what their ancestors were involved in, the kind of films they made and the kind of art work associated with the films. "The only thing that I didn't like about the book is the title and the use of the word (Bollywood), but anyway that's another story, " said Amitabh.
