Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of an inside spread, but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased 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! Finally, note MGM was the leading studio in the 1950s and 1960s, and they created some of the nicest (and largest!) pressbooks of any studio at that time. All MGM pressbooks from those years were the same dimensions, but the more important the movie, the more pages the pressbook had. Many dealers ask $20 or more for each of these oversized MGM pressbooks! This pressbook is in very good or better condition unless otherwise noted above. Remember that as is typical of all pressbooks, many were folded in half at one time, but other defects are noted above. Condition: very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
