THE FIGHTING 69th / VALLEY OF THE GIANTS pressbook, James Cagney, Claire Trevor

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 with 2 Hepa air filters. When purchasing pressbooks, remember that many were stored in the basements and attics of theaters, and could be damp or marked.
Please note that these images were all scanned, so you have a perfect example of what you are getting. Some pressbooks have thinner pages and the scanner with the very bright light often will pick up the print on the other side, so please keep that in mind when looking at the photos, this does not show when looking at the page and also the scanner may produce shadows on the sides which aren't there. Also, some of these are just too big for even a large format scanner (11 x 17) so you may not see entire pages, but they are there, and because of the oversize, you may see shadows along the 4 edges, unless in the description, those are from the scanner and are not present.
Includes ad mats (what theaters used for newspaper advertisements, usually many different styles), pages of original publicity stories, pictures of all of the film's posters, promotions with rare studio photos,  publicity stills (stills and photos are PART OF THE PRESSBOOK, not separate) and much more. Most of the material included in movie pressbooks has never been seen by the public, they are an incredible compilation of information and visual graphics on the film.
UNCUT
Warner Brothers pressbook for the double feature

Pressbook has previously been folded. The number 10 has been written on the lower left hand corner of the cover (see scan), the front page has VERY NEATLY separated from the spine. There is a half inch tear at the fold on the left and right side which is in the border area, it does not touch the graphics and there is a corner missing on the back cover, and some check marks written near some of the ads. Still this is a rare double feature pressbook.  In fair condition only.
An authentic original piece of Hollywood memorabilia printed on a beautiful all-gloss paper.

PLEASE NOTE: THE ONLY DAY I HAVE AVAILABLE TO SHIP ITEMS IS  TUESDAY...PLEASE NOTE THAT IT MAY TAKE UP TO ONE WEEK FOR YOUR ORDER TO SHIP. This is due to my disability. Also note most of the time we ship much sooner but there have been times when I need a few extra days.
I am sorry about this but I am disabled and these are the only days I can get help with packaging and going to the post office. There is a chance I may be able to mail earlier but contact me before you bid. Usually they go out on Tuesday. If you select media mail, this could take up to 12 days depending on when you made the purchase. This is the best I can do with my overall health.
