Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pressbook, and that example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! 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: fair to good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was removed from a bound volume. There is tape around the edges of the cover and the pages are quite fragile, typical of Paramount press sheets from this time period. Learn More about condition grades
