Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, and only one in the last 13 years! Also note that MGM created "newsprint only" pressbooks throughout World War II (due to paper shortages). After World War II, they had first continued with similar pressbooks, but they added a cover printed on better paper to them, and this is one of those pressbooks! Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received 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 covers are separated at the spine. The interior pages are quite fragile. Learn More about condition grades
