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 The Purchase Price, the 1932 William A. Wellman romantic sex comedy ("She Took Another Woman's Place On Her Wedding Night..!"; "She lived violently and loved passionately"; "Based on the story 'The Mud Lark' by Archur Stringer"; about a sleazy mistress of a bootlegger who pretends to be a maid in order to get away from her boyfriend; she lets herself be a mail order bride, and is "sold" to North Dakota farmer George Brent, where she becomes a dutiful wife; her old boyfriend finds her, and gives her the money her husband needs to save the farm, but will he reveal her sordid past, and can she stay "good", or will she slip back into her wicked ways?) starring Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent, Hardie Albright, Lyle Talbot, and David Landau.

Here is an image of the front cover and back poster page:

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!).
