An Original Vintage Campaign Book (measures 9 1/4" x 12 1/4" [23 x 31 cm]; 60 pages) (Learn More) Paramount 1939-40, the 1939 spiral-bound studio campaign book ("It's our year!") featuring images and information on upcoming Paramount feature films including Jamaica Inn and Beau Geste. There are three pages on the Fleischer Brothers' "Gulliver's Travels" cartoon, two pages on Popeye and other Fleischer cartoons, a page on Hopalong Cassidy, and much more. The book has a spiral binding, which allows the pages to easily be completely opened and the book can be laid completely flat. Note that even though this campaign book was sent to many theater owners, it appears that very few examples have survived. I have been a collector of campaign books and related material for many years, and I know for certain that this campaign book is extremely rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we previously auctioned an example of this campaign book that had 50 pages, but that one seemed complete. This one has 60 pages. We don't think it is because the other one was missing 10 pages. The last page of this one has a page that reads at the top "As we go to press... we announce the following", and then it shows ads for four movies. We think that they added extra pages to this book as it went to press, so that there is a 50 page version and a 60 page version, and of course, this is the 60 page version. Condition: good. The theater owner who used this book put an "X" on many of the interior pages (next to titles), sometimes with a circle around the "X". It appears he was trying to decide which films to order. It is not on all pages, but it is on many of them, and there are also some other pencil marks on some other pages. You can see some of these in some of the pages we photographed. Also note that there are stains and a scuff on the cover, and some small paint stains on the back cover that affect the image there. Please consider all these defects before bidding.
