Important Added Info: Note that this is a REALLY elaborate pressbook that measures 16 1/2" x 18 1/4". It has three interior sections and a full-color covers that picture the posters in color (like the similar MGM pressbook for "The Wizard of Oz", which came out the year before). 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 this pressbook, 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 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! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. This very large pressbook is complete and uncut. It is folded across the middle. There are tears and tiny paper loss around the edges of the full-color folder that holds the interior sections. There is separation in the "flaps" on the folder that hold the sections in. The interior sections are in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
