Lady By Choice, the 1934 David Burton romantic screwball comedy ("Men who loved her grew sadder - - but wiser!"; "She was sentenced to marry the man she loved!"; "Story by Dwight Taylor"; a wild story about a sexy fan dancer who is arrested and while in court waiting her turn, a drunken old lady is about to be sentenced, and the fan dancer's publicist suggests that she be allowed to "adopt" the old lady as a publicity stunt, and the judge agrees, and that is just the beginning of this wacky romantic comedy!) starring Carole Lombard, May Robson, Roger Pryor, Walter Connolly, and Arthur Hohl

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook!

Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we are auctioning 30 of the very best (and most rare) pressbooks from this collection, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut!

Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. The pressbook has a 1" tear with the tiniest of paper loss on the left border of the back cover. The covers are separated at the spine. Otherwise, it is in pretty nice condition. Both supplements were in a bound volume and have several punch holes at the spine of all pages. One of the supplements was separating on parts of the folds and someone put clear tape on those areas.
