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!

This week, I have the pressbook from "Pennies from Heaven", the 1936 Norman Z. McLeod romantic family relationship musical carnival melodrama ("Grand Romance and Rhythm-m-m-m! Swellegant songs and syncopation!"; "Happiest of all his happy hits!"; based on the novel "The Peacock's Feather" by Katherine Leslie Moore; while Crosby is in jail, he promises a condemned man that he will take care of his daughter, and after he gets out, he does that!) starring Bing Crosby, Madge Evans, Edith Fellows, Louis Armstrong (the famous black African-American musician and singer, who appeared in a number of movies, usually in musical performances, and often playing himself; billed as "Louis Armstrong and his famous Swing Band"), and Lionel Hampton.

Here is an image of the front cover and the back "poster page" (see larger images by clicking on these thumbnails).

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 25,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!).
