Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook contains stereotyped images of cannibals that were common in the 1940s and 1950s, but will never be used again, and thankfully so. But this is a good reminder of how things were back in 1949, and how much the world has changed since that time! 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. The pressbook is very lightly rippled at middle right. Learn More about condition grades
