Note that in 1973, it likely seemed like pure fantasy that the U.S. would have a black President any time remotely soon, and yet in 2008, we elected our first black U.S. President, Barack Obama, so this fantasy has become a reality!

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of an inside spread, but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (plus any supplements or heralds)! 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. There are slightly diagonal creases across the middle of the pressbook. Learn More about condition grades
