Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook, which is a "country of origin" item for this English movie! It has a die-cut folder cover and a portion of the die-cut cover has completely separated from the rest of the cover. There are also five loose supplements that were inserted in the folder. See our images of all the items. 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)! Finally, note that this English 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. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The die-cut cover, which is a gold color, has separated at the bottom so that there is a piece completely separated from the rest of the cover. There are also many creases and scuffs on that gold cover and on the back cover. The interior items have some slight darkening, but are otherwise in pretty good condition.
