An Original Vintage Exhibitor Magazine (measures 9 1/4" x 12 1/4" [23 x 31 cm]; 442 pages) (Learn More) The Hollywood Reporter, the film entertainment news magazine featuring articles on current projects of the time and much news and information about stars & directors as well as some very cool ads! Amazingly, it was published for many decades, starting in September 3, 1930, and it was published six days a week, 52 weeks a year! Most issues were around 8 pages, with the Saturday issue usually being 4 pages, but sometimes studios would take out four, eight, twelve page or larger ads that would make individual issues much bigger. Also, once a year, this film industry standard did a special "anniversary issue" that was hundreds of pages long. Everybody who was anybody in the business was compelled to take out an ad, and your standing in the industry was judged by how big an ad you took out! There were two daily publications like this, the other being Variety, and they were highly competitive with each other. In 2007, this magazine surpassed The Hollywood Reporter in total distribution, making it the number one entertainment daily (initially, it solely focused on Hollywood, but over the years, it expanded to include all forms of entertainment). Note that because this was a daily paper, the vast majority of people threw it away, just as they did all daily newspapers. Finding any issues of this from decades ago is incredibly difficult, and finding a specific issue is like finding a needle in a haystack, because it seems that nobody saved them! Important Added Info: Note that people probably think of The Hollywood Reporter solely as a thin magazine published with all the latest Hollywood news, published six days a week! But in addition, they did some really large "special" issues, and we don't think there were any larger or more special than THIS one, which was published to celebrate its sixth anniversary, and it is not just spiral-bound, but it is DOUBLE spiral-bound, something we have never seen in any publication before! It contains an astounding 442 pages. The publishers of The Hollywood Reporter got all the studios to take out special sections (not just a page or two, but many pages for each studio), plus lots of individuals also took out ads. Most of the ads are "congratulations" ads, sometimes with images of the person or company who took out the ad, and sometimes just names, but there is much cool border art to many of the ads, and the book really is a "Who's Who" in Hollywood in 1936! Note: We have 13 images of this magazine, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 13 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 3. Condition: very good. As noted above, the magazine is double spiral-bound. It has some minor wear, but generally has survived in about as good condition as one could hope! Learn More about condition grades
