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)! Condition: fair, WITH CUTS. Slightly over two-thirds of the front cover is missing and there is small paper loss around the edges of the back cover (see our image). The covers are both fragile, and there are 14 cuts on interior pages. Obviously, this pressbook has very MAJOR defects, but it is also true that the wonderful full-color poster page is mostly complete, and in spite of the cuts, you get to see a lot of the campaign for this movie! Obviously, one would much prefer to have a complete uncut pressbook, but that is both extremely expensive and super difficult to find! Learn More about condition grades
