Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, and only one in the last 6 years!

Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. There is a light diagonal crease in the top left corner of all pages, with some fairly minor wear scattered throughout. There are scuff marks running across the top of the front cover, with some small creases at the top of all pages.
