Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased 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! Note that this pressbook is complete and uncut (as noted above). Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The covers are separating at the spine. There are creases and tiny tears around the edges of the covers. There are some faint smudges scattered on the back cover, with tiny paper loss in the bottom right corner of the back cover. There is an NSS stamp near the center of the back cover, but it does not affect the poster images. The interior pages are in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
