Important Added Info: 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)!

Condition: fair to good, WITH CUTS. There is a newspaper ad cut out of one of the interior pages (it does not affect the poster pages). The pressbook was folded across the middle at one time. Someone put heavy tape down the spine where the pages were separating and there are tears and tiny paper loss around the edges.
