Important Added Info: Note that this Chinatown pressbook consists of a 4-page folder-like front and back cover and 3 ad supplements which are 4 pages each (this format is typical of early '70s Paramount pressbooks). We have sold pressbooks from this movie several times and we have never seen more than 3 ad supplements with the folder-like front and back cover. Because of this, we believe this to be the complete pressbook for this movie. If anyone knows of any additional supplements to this pressbook, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also 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)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased 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. There are some creases and tiny tears around the edges of the covers (caused by them being slightly larger than the interior pages), but the pressbook is otherwise in pretty good condition!
