UNITED ARTISTS 1938-39 UNITED ARTISTS 1938-39 Campaign book OR search current auctions Auction History Result 5a0120 UNITED ARTISTS 1938-39 campaign book 1938 Thief of Bagdad, Wuthering Heights & more, rare! Date Sold 7/12/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Campaign Book (measures 11 1/2" x 14 1/4" [29 x 36 cm]; 29 pages) (Learn More) United Artists 1938-39, the 1938 studio campaign book ("Six United Showmen") featuring images and information on upcoming United Artists movies that were produced by Samuel Goldwyn, Alexander Korda, David O. Selznick, Walter Wanger, Edward Small, and Hal Roach. This was a really sensational group of movies, which included Stagecoach, Wuthering Heights, The Thief of Bagdad, Made For Each Other, Drums, and more. Note that all of the interior pages are in black & white, but many have very striking images, some of which likely appeared nowhere else than in this book. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this campaign book! Note that this campaign book comes from a newly discovered collection of 15 campaign books, which we are auctioning in 15 individual auctions. They belonged to a man who was a poster artist for a specific theater in the early 1930s, and he would receive these campaign books and then take ideas for posters from them! This meant that sometimes he removed a specific ad or a specific page or pages, so several of these 15 have one or the other defect (or both), which is always clearly noted in the condition section below. While it is sad that they are not in perfect condition, one can also focus on the fact that it is wonderful that he saved these at all, when most theater owners and employees simply threw them out after the movies have played, which accounts for their extreme rarity. Note that not only was he active at a time when many great movies were released, but he also saved some of the books that had the absolute best art, as is immediately apparent when you look at the 15 pressbooks in this collection (in their separate auctions). Condition: fair. There is one page that was roughly torn out, and there may be as many as four other pages that were removed, because we have auctioned other examples of this book that had ten more pages (if you count the front and back). We can't say for certain which pages are missing, but if a movie is listed in the above description, and we did not picture it, then it may well be on one of the missing pages, so know that is a real possibility and bid accordingly. Also, there is a 4" x 4" area missing from the first interior page. Learn More about condition grades
