Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is extremely rare (we have never had it before). This might be due to the fact that the movie received a very quick re-release in 1945. 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)! Condition: good, WITH CUTS. The pressbook has one tiny cut on one interior page (the theater needed a tiny image of Preston Foster and they cut out a 1" square that contained his image), and it affects the ad on the other side of the page. Otherwise, the pressbook is complete and uncut. The pressbook comes with a 1-page supplement printed on newsprint, and that supplement has two small cuts in it. Other than the small cut, the pressbook has some creases and scuffs around the edges. The interior pages are in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
