Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this really cool book, and that was 8 years ago, when it sold for $190! It is a "fumetti", which means that it has 175 pictures from the film with captions under each, so that you can "see" the entire film by reading the book. The book is dated 1938, and it has a patent number on it, but no price. The book was certainly produced and distributed in some way, but because it has no price on the cover, we wonder if it was ever available for purchase, or if it was some sort of giveaway. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
