Overview

First there was THE LAST COLORING BOOK, then THE LAST COLORING BOOK ON THE LEFT (not a sequel but an equal); groundbreaking collections that exploded the coloring book form and reconfigured it as a venue for film study and autobiography. Now, Jimmy Angelina and Wyatt Doyle (Italians, both) proudly present BE ITALIAN. Not a coloring book, but an unprecedented visual history exploring Italian identity in motion pictures, from the early years of the silver screen through the modern era. Italians as cowboys. Italians as Jews. Italians as Jews, married to Italians. Italians as Mexicans. Italians as Amish. Magic Italians. Space Italians. Italian Nixon. Italians who paint ceilings. Italians who heard you paint houses. Italians you didn't know were Italians. Italians who really aren't. Plus Robert Loggia. In addition to the trade softcover and mass-market hardcover, a limited edition signed and numbered deluxe hardcover available exclusively from New Texture at the book's website. Costs the same as the regular hardcover, but it's signed by the authors and includes a bonus Italian on a special tipped-in plate.
