Clive NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was made in 1933, Universal was mostly making elaborate pressbooks with color covers. This pressbook is entirely in black and white. We have never auctioned or seen one with color covers, so we don't know that one was made, but it is possible that this one was made for smaller theaters and that there would have been another one with color that was made for bigger theaters. In any event, this is the only first release pressbook from this classic Universal horror movie we have ever auctioned! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 and was folded across the middle. It has a thin strip of paper loss in the right of the top blank border of the cover and it very slightly affects an emblem on the inside of that page. Otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty nice condition (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
