Not only does it have full-color covers, but the inside front and back covers show all the posters in full-color. Plus, there is a flap on the back cover, which shows both 24-sheets in full-color. There is also a "tipped-in" 4-page herald and a tipped-in "colorfoto", plus it has five graduated sections bound in. It is hard to describe in words how great this pressbook is, so look at our many photos to get a good sense of just how wonderful it is! Note that this pressbook (along with 14 others) comes from the remarkable collection described below. The 15 pressbooks include ones from both Disney shorts and Disney features from the very late 1930s and the early 1940s. All of them are incredibly rare and are almost never offered for sale (to give you a sense of how incredibly rare they are, we at eMoviePoster.com have only previously auctioned three of them). More remarkably, all of the 15 are complete and uncut and most are in wonderful condition. We had never auctioned this pressbook until August of 2016, when we were consigned it (along with an amazing collection of original Disney pressbooks from the 1940s). That example auctioned for $1,990, and one of our consignors who owned this example saw that result and that caused him to send in his for auction, so now we are auctioning it for only the second time ever! 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. This large pressbook (12 1/4" x 18") is complete and uncut and was never folded across the middle, which is a big plus, because most of these large pressbooks WERE folded across the middle (so they would fit with posters or lobby cards). There is surface paper loss scattered in the left side of the front cover (more so in the bottom half, almost completely in the background areas). There are also some tiny tears and tiny bits of surface paper loss on the back cover on the left outer edge, where the back cover folds out. Other than these defects, the pressbook is in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
