Important Added Info: Note that this is a "Showmen's Report" pressbook that was printed after the initial release (we know this because the $100 contest notes are revised to read correctly, whereas the first pressbook had to be sniped over because it read incorrectly!). 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. There are faint dot stains, smudges, and creases scattered throughout the pressbook, but it is overall in pretty good condition!
