Pressbook has
never been folded.
It has NO CUTS. The condition of this pressbook is fantastic. It doesn't look like it's even been paged through. There is a slight soiling to the background of the cover in a few small spots but you really have to look for them, it's probably from just sitting there all these years. It would be impossible to find one in better condition. (PLUS WITH THIS AUCTION: THE ORIGINAL ONE SHEET POSTER, see last photo and info below).
Included is the very rare advertising section, many of which have been lost over the years or used by the theaters. This is in the same condition, no cuts. This section has 12 pages.
ALL pressbooks and posters are studio originals, WE DO NOT SELL COPIES OR REPRODUCTIONS!
Please note that most photos show 2 pages.
Please study the photos. We try our best to describe all issues, and direct scan all of the pages because it's a much more accurate representation than a camera photo. All pressbooks are sold as is, and are very accurately described (see our feedback).
PRESSBOOK NUMBER OF PAGES: 20 PLUS 12 PAGE AD SECTION = 32 grand pages!
SIZE:  12" x 15"
YEAR: 1945, original release
This auction includes an original studio one sheet poster (27" x 41) from the film as an extra (see last photo)! This poster is NOT a copy or reproduction but a studio original. While pressbooks are my main business, I am now including other movie collectibles  that I have amassed over the years as an extra, a gift to you for purchasing from my store. The pressbook in all of our auctions is the main item because that is my specialty. I do not grade or describe the condition of the posters as I am not an expert on movie posters, stills or lobby cards, it is up to you to study the photo as to the poster's condition. We guarantee that the photo posted here is a direct photo of the poster included (
the poster image can be enlarged
). Some posters have some kind of defect  whether it might be pinholes or writing on the back, blemishes, tear, creases, taped areas, an area with a rippled effect (probably from dampness, which can usually be seen on the scans, but not always) so please look very carefully as most of these have been used by theaters. On the other hand as I look through these, some are in great condition as well and a few look like they were never used. So it is up to you to study the photo. All posters have been folded. This was the way they were originally sent to the theaters.  These posters are included AS IS!

ABOUT ME:
I have been a movie fan all of my life, my grandfather worked for both Universal and RKO, and my mother was an editor at Paramount. At age 8 I was taken to my grandfather's offices and saw piles of movie pressbooks stacked up.  I have collected since I was 8. Over the years, when I obtained a pressbook, it would immediately go into a plastic bag and was taped shut so no air would get in.  My father owned a furniture store which his father opened in 1900, which I worked at for 10 years and the first and most important thing he taught me was customer relations, to treasure each and every customer, to treat you as I would want to be treated so I am an old-fashioned seller who cares about each customer and your being happy all the way through a transaction, a "mom and pop" type store. I am ALWAYS available to talk about anything you might be interested in, from my store or our transaction yo the wonderful hobby of movies and I check my Ebay mail almost every 2 hours during the day. Please don't hesitate to message me.
I WILL ONLY SHIP TO PAYPAL CONFIRMED ADDRESSES!
