Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this 1938 first release pressbook! 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 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! Note that for the past 18 months, we have auctioned one of the most extraordinary collections of pressbooks ever assembled! What made it so extraordinary is that it contained lots and lots of extremely rare pressbooks, mostly from the 1930s and 1940s, including many that we had never auctioned before. In our last few regular auctions, we auctioned most of the last of this gigantic collection, and now, in this April Major Auction, we are auctioning the very last of them, and one quick look tells you that "we saved many of the very best for last"! This is your FINAL opportunity to buy from this extraordinary collection! Condition: good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle, and there are creases, smudges, and surface paper loss along that area, with some staining in the left of Hepburn's face. The covers are partially separated at the spine, and there is wear at the spine. There was once a tipped-in herald that is now missing. Obviously, one could locate another example of that and put it with this pressbook. Learn More about condition grades
