Important Added Info: Note that this was a special supplement that was distributed along with the regular pressbook for "Psycho" (perhaps Hitchcock saw the regular pressbook and felt they needed to better explain how he intended the film to be marketed)! The supplement is entitled "The Care and Handling of Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock", and it says at the bottom "This is a companion piece to the regular Paramount pressbook on Psycho". The book is loaded with photographs of Hitchcock and the many special teaser ads that were used to promote the film ("It is required you see PSYCHO from the very beginning"; "We won't allow you to cheat yourself"; "No one, not even the manager's brother will be admitted into the theater after the start of each performance of PSYCHO"). Condition: good to very good. This is the special supplement and it is complete and uncut. There is staining in the bottom right corner of the first two pages and it was folded across the middle at a slight diagonal (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
