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!

The interior pages are printed on newsprint and are slightly fragile and have some darkening and small tears around the edges. There are some stains down the spine. Learn More about condition grades
