Date Sold 6/13/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Softcover Campaign Book (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 64 pages) (Learn More) Republic Pictures, the 1935 campaign book sent to theater owners to encourage them to show Republic movies. This is the first campaign book that was printed by the newly created Republic Pictures in 1935 (Republic was formed by merging six small studios that were barely hanging on, Monogram, Mascot, Liberty, Majestic, Chesterfield, and Invincible). The book has 64 pages with two-color one and two page ads for upcoming movies. The highlights of the book are the two-page ad for "John Wayne in a greater western series", where they announced all eight pictures that would be made (because they had bought the rights to all eight stories), and also the two-page ad for the four upcoming Republic serials, the first of which was Robinson Crusoe (at the time this book went to press, they did not know what the other three serials would be, but they had pictures of authors that they were going to make serials from, including Ellery Queen and James Fenimore Cooper). Apparently, Republic did not print many of these campaign books, either in this first year or in the next few years, because any Republic campaign books from the 1930s are beyond rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, this was the campaign book for the first year's production of the newly former Republic Pictures. Not only have we never auctioned it before, but we have never auctioned any Republic campaign book from the 1930s! Condition: very good. There are light smudges and stains around the edges of both covers. Otherwise, the book is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
