Might Godzilla! Now an all mighty all-new motion picture brings them together for the first time in the colossal clash of all time!"; "All New!"; "See! King Kong hurl an entire train to destruction! Godzilla's radioactive flame burn out entire cities! King Kong gouge out a mountainside!

Note that when I saw this movie in 1963 as a young boy, I was dazzled by the incredible "special effects", but I watched it again recently with my children, and I was amazed at just how feeble the special effects were! Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. There is some staining and a few tiny tears around the edges of the covers, but the pressbook is otherwise in pretty nice condition!
