Important Added Info: Note that this is a photocopied pressbook, but it was likely made in 1942, or very soon after! It has printed at the lower right of the cover "PROPERTY OF LIBRARY RKO Radio Pictures, Inc. PLEASE RETURN". Studios would maintain examples of pressbooks on file, but they quickly found that they would disappear, so they would instead print up photocopies that people were less likely to steal. But do not bid on this pressbook thinking it is the regular pressbook, because it is a photocopy made by RKO itself for their library! Condition: good, NO CUTS. This photocopied pressbook (see above) was printed on copiers that were available in the 1940s, and those could only print one side, so all the pages are blank on the back and are not bound in any way. There is some wear around the edges (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
