This is because the first interior page has a full-length image of Ava Gardner and her "bare foot" shows through the die-cut area. 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: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. This very large pressbook (which measures 14" x 20 3/4") was folded across the middle, and there are tiny creases and scuffs on the fold. Learn More about condition grades
