As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you each week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES!

So below is the pressbook from True to Life, the 1943 George Marshall radio romantic love triangle comedy ("Paramount's Side-Splitting Laugh Riot!"; about a radio show writer who rents a room from a typical small town family, and writes about their life on his show, but he falls in love with their oldest daughter) starring Mary Martin, Franchot Tone, Dick Powell, Victoria Moore, Mabel Paige, and William Demarest

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and two interior pages  (note the great Al Hirschfeld art on the cover and one of the interior pages):

   

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 20,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!). And remember to check out our previous Cool Items of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
