Hinds, Ian Wolfe, Spencer Charters, Maidel Turner, and Arthur Hoyt NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, and we auctioned one of those examples twice, and that same example has now been reconsigned to us once again, so this is STILL only one of two examples 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)! Condition: poor, WITH CUTS. This is an 8-page pressbook, and the pages were all separated from each other and someone put tape down the spine of several of the pages, and the front cover was kept separate from the rest of the pressbook (no doubt because someone framed it by itself). They also put tape along the back of the center of the front cover where it had separated and on the center of page 3. Pages 1, 2, 3, and 4 are complete, but pages 5, 6, 7, and 8 have significant areas cut out of each, which greatly affects the poster page (none of the poster images are complete). The person who owned this pressbook located another example and made copies of the missing areas and taped them to the last four pages. Obviously, one would much prefer that this pressbook was not cut and that it did not have any tape or its other defects, but it is true that you can't find this pressbook except for lots of money, and original movie paper on this title is even more expensive, so the new owner of this pressbook can do as the previous owner did, and frame the front cover, and they will have a 1935 Raven movie paper item on their wall!
