question about the ames bros. poster book

I was wondering...
Does the book have an image of the 7/10/98 San Diego poster (Endless summer-ish icon)?
How big is it?
Is it frameable picture quality?

I've pretty much come to the conclusion I'll likely never get my hands on the poster, but if I could get a decent sized image from the book and frame that - it would probably suit my needs quite well.

    I do not recall seeing that one in the book. I can look when I get home. Now I am curious.

    that is the one and only... I'm pretty sure I had a chance to buy it pre-show, but hesitated and they were gone after the show... been regretting it ever since. Endless Summer has held a special place in my heart since my youth and the combo of its imagery and Pearl Jam makes this really desirable for me (and many many others I'm sure)

    Thanks for checking the book...can't wait to hear. I wouldn't hesitate spending the $50 on the book.

    Its actually 6/10/98 on the poster, i think that is an error.

    and there is a picture of it in the ames book...........and you are in LUCK its one full page dedicated to it. quite big and would be great framed.

    page 187.

    Don't go buying the book just to slice this one page out. There is a guy on ebay that sells "mini posters" that he cuts from the Ames as well as other books. Look him up, I'm sure that he has one laying around that he would sell you.

    yeah, man don't just get the book for the sole "mini" poster !

    I've seen his auctions and contacted him at one point...no luck thusfar.

    Thanks for the heads up though.

    So I got the San Diego 1998 mini poster from ebay.
    Also got some other 'surf' themed posters. - hawaii '06, and a couple Australia's.
    I got em all framed up and they look great!
    Obviously I'd love to have the full-sized images, but given the cost and lack of availability this is a fine alternative.
