Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, and only one in the last 15 years, and that example sold for $630! Note that this is one of a truly remarkable collection of 37 uncut pressbooks we have been consigned and are auctioning in 37 separate auctions! This is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever auctioned at one time. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s can't be found in great condition, and some of them are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have many images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The covers are separated at the spine and there is a faint stain in the top right corner of the cover. Otherwise the pressbook is in pretty nice condition. See our many images to get a good sense of the exact condition of this pressbook. Learn More about condition grades
