Important Added Info: Note that this is the very rare first release pressbook from Sleeping Beauty (we have never auctioned it before). It has a really cool supplement sheet that measures 8 1/2" x 11" which solely says "IMPORTANT! The 35mm print of Walt Disney's 'Sleeping Beauty' must be projected at an aspect ratio of 2:35 to 1.'" 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. There is paper loss in the lower right corner of the back cover but fortunately it is solely in the blank area on both sides and there is some separation in the bottom of the covers. There is creasing across the bottom of the back cover (see our image). Otherwise the pressbook is in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
