NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is "very" over-sized (it measures 18" x 23 3/4"). It has ten pages, and the last page is not color like the cover, so there COULD have been a full-color back cover, but there is a poster page on one of the interior pages, and the only other example of this pressbook we have seen also had ten pages, so it seems quite possible that this is complete. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this pressbook comes with both a supplement and a herald, and the herald has a cool "full-color comic strip" on one side! Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald which is pictured next to the pressbook below. 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. Almost every Academy Award winning movie would have a special "Academy Award winner" supplement. 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: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook appears to be complete and uncut (see above). This very large pressbook was folded down the middle and has some minor wear around the edges.
