Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Also note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 47 mostly United Artists pressbooks (mostly from the 1930s) that came from the collection of a very longtime collector who recently passed away. Pressbooks like these are almost all incredibly rare and almost never change hands. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain one or more of these extremely rare pressbooks, all of which are uncut (EXCEPT for this one, which we included, because of its great rarity and that it is from an early Hitchcock movie that virtually no paper can be found from), and several of them have rare supplements or heralds (and if they do, that is noted above). 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)! Condition: good, WITH CUTS. As noted above, this is the one pressbook from this collection that has cuts. There is approximately one-quarter of one interior page cut out, which affects some ad mats and images of "style stills". Otherwise, this incredibly rare pressbook is complete and uncut. We leave it to the bidders to determine how important that missing portion of one page is to them. Learn More about condition grades
