LADIES' MAN pressbook, Eddie Bracken, Cass Daley, Virginia Welles, Spike Jones

Description

Pressbooks were sent only to theater owners to promote and advertise the movie and are extremely rare especially without cuts.This collection has been of the utmost importance to me and has been stored in a temperature controlled room for many years in a non-smoking home with 2 Hepa air filters and in the summer a strong dehumidifier.   Please note that these images were all scanned, so you have a perfect example of what you are getting.  I am cutting down on my collection and offering many rare pressbooks. Please understand that pressbooks were made to be cut up by theater managers for promotion and to place advertisements in the newspapers, so uncut pressbooks may be hard to find on many titles, and many have been sold off now over the years since Ebay and other auction sites have been in business since the late 1990's. A pressbook with minimal cuts (most of ours are uncut) still has value.
We do not believe in short descriptions and leaving it up to chance for your satisfaction. We try to list EVERY issue if there are any, instead of just saying "normal wear" or "slight use" or other general terms. We want you to know, since these are collectibles, exactly the condition of the pressbook (which is why we chose to purchase an industrial scanner to be able to scan the largest pressbooks). There is nothing more accurate than a scan.
Please also note that when scanning pressbooks, many of these were in newspaper resolution for the photos and advertisements which consisted of images made up of dots, , and the scanner sometimes makes them look like the ads (especially faces, ect) have very small lines or squares in them, this is NOT in the pressbook itself but a by-product of the scanning of this type of material.
Finally, you may wonder why many of our scans (pictures of the product) state in pink letters "SCAN FOR EBAY" over some of the images. I have discovered that there are people copying these images and enlarging them and making prints to sell on auction web sites. So to prevent this illegal activity, we are forced to put some print over some of the better images, they are not on the items themselves.

UNCUT
Paramount pressbook for "
LADIES' MAN
" starring Eddie Bracken, Cass Daley, Virginia Welles, Spike Jones
This pressbook is in excellent shape, close to mint. It has never been folded, there are no cuts, it sits very flat, the print is all very clear, pages in beautiful condition. It would be hard to find a better surviving copy. The only issue is a few of the pages have started to separate from the binding at the bottom going upward about 3/4 inch.. However no pages are torn. The rest is very very nice.
TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES: 24
SIZE:  12" x 15"
YEAR: ORIGINAL RELEASE 1947

Inquire about quantity shipping. It is not fair to charge the same shipping for each pressbook if you win more than one, I will only charge the postal cost. Pressbooks will be very carefully packed in between two strong pieces of cardboard and taped on all sides, each pressbook comes in a protective plastic sleeve for safe storage! The shipping cost is as close to real cost as possible, I am not out to make extra profit on shipping, which includes shipping, extra large folders with cardboard to send them unfolded and protected from bending and a beautiful plastic sleeve for safekeeping in the future.
