Important Added Info: Note that at this time, United Artists prepared unusual pressbooks that were different from those of the other studios. Sometimes they measured 13 1/2" x 22", and sometimes they measured 9 3/4" x 12 3/4". The larger size was folded in half, so they were not that different when sent to theaters. The larger ones had separate printed brown envelopes, with a return address from United Artists, and an image from the movie. The smaller ones had the envelope as part of the pressbook and the "cover" was the part with the return address and the image. 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! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The covers have separated around the edges and there are some tears and tiny paper loss with darkening on both covers (neither of which show posters). Learn More about condition grades
