The love story you'll never forget! The picture you'll never forget!"; "From the novel 'Miss Bishop' by Bess Streeter Aldrich"; "Screen Adaptation by Stephen Vincent Benet"; about a woman who never marries and who becomes a teacher, and when she grows old, she feels she has "wasted" her life, but at the climax of the movie, a lot of her former pupils, now famous, return to tell her how much good she did them) starring Martha Scott (in the title role as Ella Bishop), William Gargan, Edmund Gwenn, Sidney Blackmer, Dorothy Peterson, Sterling Holloway, Donald Douglas, Marsha Hunt, Lois Ranson, and Mary Anderson. Note that United Artists was afraid that audiences would not respond to this story of a dedicated unmarried teacher, so they promoted it like a tawdry romance, with the lurid taglines "SHOULD I have loved the way I did? ...I offered my heart to him when he knew so much of love, and I knew so little." and "Shall I cast aside a lifetime of love - for one tawdry moment in a man's past?"!

Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Condition: fair to good, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. There is tape down the spine. The pressbook had a tipped-in herald that is no longer present (of course, one could find another example to replace it with). Learn More about condition grades
