Auction History Result y001 BOX OFFICE BOOK 1932-33 Universal movie campaign book Date Sold 1/29/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Studio Campaign Book (sometimes called "studio yearbooks"; measures 10 1/4" x 13 1/4"; 58 pages) (Learn More) Step Out With Universal, the 1932-33 Universal campaign book ("The box office book 1932-33") featuring upcoming Universal movies and stars from movies that were planned for production or release by Universal in the coming year including: The Invisible Man, S.S. San Pedro, Laughter in Hell, Once in a Lifetime, and many more. This campaign book contains colorful artwork (mostly 1 and 2-page spreads) as well as information on writers, directors, and Universal staff. This book has some of the finest full-color artwork of any campaign book, and we wish we could reproduce all of the ads, because they are just so incredible! Also note that, as was often the case with these campaign books, some of the movies advertised were either never made, had their titles changed before they were released, or were made with different casts than those announced in the campaign book! Note that in the case of this particular campaign book, there is a really cool ad for "Cagliostro", which turned into "The Mummy", and it also has ads for two other Universal horror movies "The Old Dark House" and "The Invisible Man" (and on The Invisible Man it says that he will be played by "that master of the impossible - BORIS KARLOFF", when of course, Claude Rains actually played the role!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of an excellent collection of seven extremely scarce studio campaign books (plus two similar items) we are selling this week on eBay (in seven separate auctions). Even though these are books that have sold for hundreds of dollars in the past, all begin with 99 cents with no reserve on any of them! Condition: very good to fine. There is scuffing throughout the front and back covers, and some extra scuffing on the edges of the spine. However, the interior pages are in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
