An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 12 pages). Also included is an ad supplement that has 2 pages, and also a herald that has 4 pages. (Learn More) Bob Denver was an actor from the 1950s to the 1990s. After a bit part in a 1959 movie, he was cast as Maynard G. Krebs in TV's "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", which made him a cult star. It went off the air in 1963, and the following year lightning struck twice when he was cast as Gilligan in TV's "Gilligan's Island", which was an even bigger hit! He passed away in 2005 at the age of 70. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook has been personally autographed (signed) by Bob Denver (he added "Gilligan" after his name!). Our consignor met Mr. Denver in person and Mr. Denver signed this item (and one other item, which we are auctioning in a separate auction) for him at that time. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we are certain the signatures are authentic. Also note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald which is pictured next to the pressbook below. Also 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. Almost every Academy Award winning movie would have a special "Academy Award winner" supplement. 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)! Finally, 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! As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. Learn More about condition grades
