Important Added Info: Note that we have only once previously auctioned this wonderful pressbook, and that was five years ago, when it auctioned for $455! That pressbook was in better condition than this one, but that pressbook had no supplements, and this pressbook has two supplements! 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)! 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. The pressbook is complete and uncut and it is folded across the middle. The covers are mostly separated at the spine. There are some small tears in the left edge of the cover, and some faint smudges around the edges of the cover. Learn More about condition grades
