Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. This pressbook has two pages of a four-page supplement (the other two pages are missing). Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, 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 is complete and uncut. It was lightly folded across the middle at a slight diagonal. There are creases and scuffs around the edges of the cover, with grease pencil marks in the bottom left corner of the cover, and smudges and stains on the back cover. The interior pages of the pressbook are in nice condition. There is a supplement that originally had 4 pages, but only 2 pages are present. Learn More about condition grades
