As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you each week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES!

So below is the pressbook from Nunnally Johnson's Along Came Jones, the 1945 Stuart Heisler romantic cowboy western ("Gun shy...Girl shy...Great guy... He dares to shoot it out with the toughest killer in the west."; "Screen Play by Nunnally Johnson"; about a mild-mannered cowhand who goes into a western town, and he is mistaken for a notorious outlaw, with a large reward on his head, dead or alive!) starring Gary Cooper (in the title role as Melody Jones), Loretta Young, William Demarest, Dan Duryea, and Frank Sully

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and an interior spread (note that the cover has great art by famed illustrator Norman Rockwell, and that the "comic strip" shown has art by Hap Brower):

   

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 20,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!). And remember to check out our previous Cool Items of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
