Important Added Info: 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. The pressbook was printed on a newsprint, but it is not very fragile, but it has slightly darkened. There is faint staining scattered on the top half of the front cover, but it has no effect on the first interior page. Other than the above, the pressbook is in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age! Learn More about condition grades
