Important Added Info: Note that there were two different pressbooks printed for the release of this movie. At this time, distributors would print a different pressbook with a lesser number of pages (usually 4 pages and printed in black & white) for smaller theaters, while the larger theaters would get a pressbook (sometimes in color) with many more pages. This pressbook is the 4-page pressbook used in smaller theaters. Also 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! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
