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 20 Million Miles to Earth, the 1957 Nathan Juran science fiction (sci-fi) horror thriller (with "Technical Effects Created by Ray Harryhausen"; "Out-of-Space creature invades the Earth!"; "Monster of all space-monsters! Not since 'King Kong' anything like it! Beast from Outerspace unleashed on Earth! Whole cities leveled as Monster doubles in size... every night! World-wide havoc! All Mankind threatened!"; "Terror from outer space!"; "Story by Charlott Knight") starring William Hopper, Joan Taylor, Frank Puglia, John Zaremba, and Thomas Browne Henry. Note that the producers of the movie wanted to keep the appearance of the monster (called the Ymir) semi-secret, so the posters for this movie only show a small portion of the Ymir!

Here is an image of the pressbook's cover and an interior page:

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!).
