Important Added Info: Note that this is a REALLY elaborate pressbook that measures 16 1/2" x 18 1/4". It has three interior sections and a full-color covers that picture the posters in color (like the similar MGM pressbook for "The Wizard of Oz", which came out the year before). Also 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. Sadly, the front cover is missing. There is a cut out piece on the first page of the first interior section and there are many tears and small areas of paper loss around the edges of the back cover. Learn More about condition grades
