NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this first release pressbook! 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)! Note: We have 12 images of this pressbook, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 12 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 2. Note that this is one of a collection of 25 1940s pressbooks that was recently discovered (and they are all being auctioned now, in separate auctions). They include a number of "better" and "quite rare" titles, some of which we have never auctioned before (or only auctioned once or twice). This is a great opportunity to add one or more of these rare pressbooks to your collection! Condition: fair, WITH CUTS. The pressbook is missing the front cover, the back cover. There was a tab above the inside back cover that said "LOBBIES", and it showed lobby cards and posters on the inside back cover and, of course, on the back cover, and that page is entirely missing, so none of the poster images are present. So this is a coverless pressbook, missing both covers. Please bear this in mind before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
