A Copy of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Sold for Over N1 Million

https://a.co/d/6swXgCI

The first edition of the NOLLYWOOD MIRROR® Series has become a collectors' item among art collectors of unique books and now selling for US$1, 882.91 which is equivalent to more than N1, 100, 000 with the current exchange rate of the US dollar to the naira 

Why is it a highly priced book?

* This is the first edition of the first book series on Nollywood and the Nigerian film industry.

* The articles and photographs document the genesis of the phenomenon of Nollywood and the history of filmmaking in Nigeria since the first feature, "Palaver" directed by Geoffrey Barkas in 1926. 

* The fonts are unconventional and  seen as art form.

* The prophetic cover of the photograph of Kenneth Gyang, whose film, "Confusion Na Wa" starring Ramsey Nouah, OC Ukeje, Ali Nuhu and Tunde Aladese won the coveted awards for the Best Film and the Best Nigerian Film at the 9th annual Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) in 2013.  Kenneth Gyang has become the poster child of the Big Picture of the future of Nollywood and Nigerian cinema on Netflix and international film festivals.
