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 Extravagance, the 1921 Phil Rosen silent romantic melodrama ("by Ben Ames Williams"; "Scenario by Edward Lowe Jr.") starring May Allison, Robert Edeson, Theodore von Eltz, William Courtwright, Lawrence Grant, and Grace Pike

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and an interior spread (note that they devoted an entire interior page to promoting another then-current Metro Picture, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", starring Rudolph Valentino):

 

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!).
