(Learn More) Forever Amber, the 1947 Otto Preminger historical medieval England romantic melodrama (produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; "From the novel by Kathleen Winsor"; "Screen Play by Philip Dunne & Ring Lardner, Jr."; set in 1660 England, about a country girl who literally sleeps her way to nobility, but sacrifices much, including her true love, in the process) starring Linda Darnell (in the title role "as Amber"), Cornel Wilde ("as Bruce Carlton"), Richard Greene ("as Lord Almsbury"), George Sanders ("as King Charles II"), Glenn Langan, Richard Haydn, Jessica Tandy, Anne Revere, and John Russell. Note that this novel was very controversial when it was published, and it was thought at first to be unfilmable, and the Breen office objected to many elements of the movie, and Fox made many changes to the film because of that. Also note that Peggy Cummins was originally cast in the lead role, and she was brought from England to the U.S. specifically for this movie. But when the movie was delayed over the censorship objections, it was decided that Cummins was not well enough known in America, and Linda Darnell was recast in her place.

Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! 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. Condition: good, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. This particular pressbook was removed from a bound volume and clear tape was put down the spine of the covers. Learn More about condition grades
