WATCH ON THE RHINE pressbook Bette Davis, Paul Lukas, Geraldine Fitzgerald

Description

Pressbooks were sent only to theater owners to promote and advertise the movie and are extremely rare especially without cuts, but since these are rare, those with a few cuts have turned out to retain value as well.This collection has been of the utmost importance to me and has been stored in a temperature controlled room.
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 edges which aren't there. Contact me with any questions.

Warner Brothers pressbook for
"WATCH ON THE RHINE
"
starring Bette Davis, Paul Lukas, Geraldine Fitzgerald
Pressbook has NEVER BEEN FOLDED. This is an auction for the ADVERTISING SECTION ONLY. 16 pages of great advertisements from the film, this was the ad supplement to the original pressbook containing all advertisements for use by the theaters showing the film. The paper color has darkened due to age. There are 3 cuts and one is the smallest in the book, about 1 l/2" x 1 1/2", the other are smaller ads.  The large ads remain in great condition. Please note that there are mini tears throughout the book, almost all of them along the 4 borders away from the print, and most pages are separated from the spine. It was stapledat the spine at the top and bottom. There is one stain and that is in an area with a few words showing how the photographs were touched up, it looks like maybe greasy fingers? The back page has an inch by an inch (or smaller) piece missing but it is in a border area not on the print. Most of the ads (all but the 2 small cut ads) are in really good condition. The last scan shows the worst page, please not, as you can see by the other scans, that this is the worst page and none of the others have the wrinkling or these kinds of tear-ours around the borders.
All pages of pressbook are printed on a beautiful glossy paper.

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.
