(Learn More) Universal 1945-46, the 1946 serial campaign book ("Streamlined entertainment for the greater enjoyment of your patrons") sent by Universal to theaters to try to get them to book their upcoming serials: Secret Agent X-9, Lost City of the Jungle, Royal Mounted Rides Again, and Scarlet Horseman. The book is softcover and the covers are a folder printed on a single sheet that is folded twice to create eight "pages". Within the folder are four wonderful 13 1/4" x 20" full-color posters folded in half, one for each of the above serials, and they are blank on the back (sometimes these have been discovered individually, and are sold as "trade ads", but they were removed from this special serial campaign book). Obviously, the owner of this could frame any of those four full-color posters individually, or they could keep them together in the campaign book. Also note that the latest Universal hardcover yearbook we have auctioned is from 1940-41. We suspect that with the start of World War II, and paper shortages, Universal stopped making elaborate hardcover campaign books. We imagine that after the war ended, they may have made a hardcover or softcover campaign book for their "regular" movies in addition to this special serial one, but if there is such a "Universal 1945-46" regular campaign book, we have never seen it. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Artist: Syd Roye Important Added Info: Note that this special serial campaign book is extremely rare. We have never auctioned it before! Condition: very good. The outer covers of the campaign book have smudges and scuffs. The full-color posters within are in really nice condition!
