Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this English pressbook, and only one in the last 13 years! 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 English pressbook contains the original herald that was included with it, and it is pictured next to the pressbook below. 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 English 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! Note: We have 16 images of this English pressbook, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 16 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 6. Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. There are many light smudges on both covers. The interior of the regular pressbook is in nice condition (including the tipped-in herald). The 5-page supplement (printed on newsprint) was glued to the blank inside back cover, at the top of the last page, and the other pages have separated from that last page, which has a tear at the top (see our images to get a sense of the condition of this pressbook).
