NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a collection of seventeen Alfred Hitchcock pressbooks we were consigned which we are currently auctioning in seventeen separate auctions. This is a rare opportunity to purchase any or all of these pressbooks, many of which are rarely offered for sale!

Note that this pressbook comes in a special presentation portfolio that has "PUBLICITY ADVERTISING PROMOTION INFORMATION" printed on the inside flap, and inside are two 4-page brochures, one entitled "PROMOTION" and one entitled "PUBLICITY"! There was a third 4-page brochure entitled "ADVERTISING", which is not present (but the entire "regular" pressbook is present).

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 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. The regular pressbook is complete and uncut. As noted above, the supplement portfolio only has two of its three 4-page brochures (but of course, it is extremely difficult to find the portfolio in any condition). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this rare portfolio and pressbook.
