Auction History Result 3h084 SCREEN BOOK magazine October 1929 art of Ruth Chatterton in Madame X by John Clarke! Date Sold 5/23/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Magazine (measures 8 1/2" x 11 1/2" [22 x 29 cm]) (Learn More) Screen Book Magazine ("Love Stories from the Movies"), one of the many movie magazines sold to the public. Each issue features a great full color cover of a leading star of the day, plus lots of interior publicity stories about current stars and movies with many black and white images throughout. Many issues had a large center section that was like a Sunday newspaper's rotogravure section. Also, in every issue are many wonderful vintage ads, in black and white, and sometimes the ads can be just as much fun as the original stories and pictures. Of course, some of the ads are from movies that were about to open, and in the early days of eBay, people would remove those full-page ads and auction them by themselves, and they would often sell for $10, $20, or more, just for a single movie ad removed from a magazine just like this! Note that in September of 1931, when it became clear that the Great Depression was a reality, the publishers of this magazine slashed the price from 25 cents to 10 cents and lowered the page count by approximately 40%. At some point in 1937, this magazine joined with "Screen Play" into a single magazine called just "Screen Book". Important Added Info: Note that we have provided a picture of the front cover of the magazine, a picture of an interior page (usually the table of contents page, if there is one), and a picture of one interior two-page spread (but we didn't make much effort to find the best one!). These images should greatly help you judge the overall condition of the magazine. Please know that these magazines are sealed in bags and are ready for shipping, and we cannot answer any questions about them or look through them for you, so please bid (or do not bid) based on the images we have provided. Condition: very good to fine. Note that we have attempted to check to see if the magazine is complete and uncut, and we believe that it is. However, there is a slight possibility that we might have missed a small cut or a page that was neatly removed, and if that happens, you can return the magazine. We have solely provided an overall description of the condition of the magazine, but you can also refer to our super-sized images. Please bid (or not bid) based on that overall grade and by viewing the super-sized images. Learn More about condition grades
