Important Added Info: Note that some English pressbooks from this time would have the half crown poster stapled into the centerfold. Often, dealers remove these from the pressbook and sell them as half crowns, because they often sell for more by themselves than they do when they are still part of the pressbook. Also note that this is a "country of origin" item for this English movie! 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: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The pressbook was lightly partially folded across the middle (we would prefer not to fold it completely, but we will do so if the new buyer requests). Learn More about condition grades
