Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, but both were over 20 years ago! 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 are auctioning 30 of the very best (and most rare) pressbooks from this collection, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. 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! Note: We have 17 images of the pressbooks in this set, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 17 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 7. Condition: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. However, the interiors of MGM pressbooks from this period were printed on a newsprint that was exactly like what was used in newspapers at that time, and it almost always ages terribly, resulting in incredibly brittle insides. The color covers were printed on a better paper, but they tend to chip around the edges. In this particular pressbook, the pressbook has a tipped-in herald that is glued in and the "supplementary ad" section has a herald tipped-in as well. There is also an exploitation section that is on much better quality paper. The pressbook and all the other items have survived in about as nice condition as one could hope, but the portions of them that are printed on newsprint are definitely fragile, but we can't imagine them surviving any better than this one has. But still, look at our images to get a good sense of how all the items included in this auction have aged. Learn More about condition grades
