Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Like most United Artists pressbooks from this period, it was sent in a printed envelope, and it does not have a regular "cover" like most pressbooks, although the first page serves as a cover substitute. Also note that this auction also includes the printed envelope this item originally came with! Also note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Finally, note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. This pressbook is complete and uncut, and it was never folded. There are tears and tiny paper loss around the edges of the printed envelope, but the rest of the pressbook is in surprisingly nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
