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 Jericho (also released as "Dark Sands"), the 1937 Thornton Freeland English military war adventure musical (about a black soldier who kills a superior officer who is going crazy, and he is sentenced to death, and a white officer gets him a furlough so he can spend his last days with his family, but he deserts and goes to Africa where he becomes a tribal leader, and the officer is sentenced to prison, and when he gets out, he tries to hunt down the soldier to bring him back!) starring Paul Robeson, Henry Wilcoxon, Wallace Ford, Kouka (billed on some items as "Princess Kouka"), John Laurie, and James Carew.

Here is an image of the front cover and back cover 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!). And remember to check out our previous Cool Items of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is now fully searchable!).
