An Original Vintage German Campaign Book (measures 9 3/4" x 11 3/4" [25 x 30 cm]; 114 pages) (Learn More) Universal 1953-54, the 1953 German campaign book sent by Universal to German theater owners to try to get them to book their upcoming movies. The book is softcover and spiral-bound, but otherwise resembles a U.S. campaign book of this time, except, of course, that it is entirely in German! The German Universal branch did something really cool with this book. All of the pages are 2-page spreads for each movie, and all of them have 4 inch flaps on the right side, which open up and give more information about that movie under the flap. The book contains great two-page ads for upcoming Universal movies, most notably It Came From Outer Space in 3-D, and other movies and stars include The Glenn Miller Story, Rock Hudson, James Stewart, Burt Lancaster, and many more. Not only is this book incredibly rare, but so are all German campaign books from any year, but especially from the German branches of U.S. studios (we have only ever auctioned one other German campaign book from a U.S. studio, and that one was from Warner Bros. in 1950-51). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, prior to this, we had only ever auctioned one German campaign book from a U.S. studio. Now we have been consigned TWO from Universal International, this one from 1953-54, and also one from 1954-55, which is in a separate auction. Condition: good to very good. The cover was folded vertically down the center and 2" to the right of that. The first interior page has many faint brown stains and some of the interior pages have a few faint brown stains (see our images). Otherwise, the book is in pretty nice condition!
