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 Border Flight, the 1936 Otho Lovering airplane aviation military melodrama ("Thrilling With the Heroic Exploits of the Coast Guard!", "A love triangle spiced with danger, loyalty and glorious sacrifice!") starring Frances Farmer (top billed in her second movie role ever!), John Howard, Roscoe Karns, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Grant Withers, and Samuel S. Hinds. Note that original release poster material from this movie is incredibly rare! In all our years of auctioning, we have never had even one poster or lobby card, only a pressbook, still and glass slide (but because we have had the pressbook, we know what the posters look like!).

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and an interior spread:

 

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 now fully searchable!).
