INVENTORY NUMBER: 17082705MY COLLECTION AND BRIEF PRESSBOOK HISTORY
Pressbooks were sent only to theater owners to promote and advertise the movie and so many are extremely rare especially without cuts. 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.
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. Also, we strive to give you a most complete description of these items. We try to list EVERY issue if there are any, instead of just saying "normal wear" or "slight use" or other general terms that really don't tell you what the "general" wear is. 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, almost all of the images inside them were printed to be "newspaper ready." Newspapers use a larger dot image to make up a photo, so while scanning them for viewing here, some images look like there are light lines or dots on faces and other parts of an image, please note this is a result of our scanning, the actual images inside the listed item do not have that side effect.
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
Warner Brothers original pressbook for
"THAT WAY WITH WOMEN
" starring Dane Clark, Martha Vickers, Sydney Greenstreet
Pressbook has been folded in the past. There is a half inch tear on the cover at the top edge about 3 inches in.Pages 5 and 6 have an area cut out, about 1/6th of the page on the bottom right. It looks like all there was in that area is writing about ordering things for the theater lobby (on both sides) so I don't know why it was torn out in that location (see scan, the black area is the piece torn out), page 22 has a 2 inch tear at the left fold, and the back cover is taped over the same area, and there is some black writing on the front cover upper left (see scan) and a few light creases, the paper has slightly darkened due to age. Overall though, almost everything is here in decent condition. The inside contents very old-Hollywood!
This is an original (not copied) authentic piece of Hollywood memorabilia! All pages are printed on a beautiful glossy paper.
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.
THESE POSTERS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE PRESSBOOK AS AN EXTRA and all posters are included AS IS!
TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES: 24

PLEASE NOTE: THE ONLY DAY I HAVE AVAILABLE TO SHIP ITEMS IS
TUESDAY
...PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR ITEM WILL SHIP THE
TUESDAY
AFTER YOU MAKE YOUR PURCHASE!
I am sorry about this but I am disabled and this is the only day 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.
ABOUT SHIPPING:
ALL PRESSBOOKS ARE MAILED WITH A COLLECTABLE PLASTIC COVER (one for each if you buy more than one) AND IN A LARGE STURDY CARDBOARD AND ALL ARE MAILED UNFOLDED!!! This is why the shipping/materials cost is what it is. I've never had shipping damage with these mailers, which actually cost me .65 per shipment and you have a nice size-fitted plastic cover so your pressbook stays in top shape for years, these cost me $.75 each. We take very good care of these collectables. PLEASE NOTE THAT I NOW GIVE YOU A CHOICE OF MAILING SPEEDS. IF YOU SELECT MEDIA MAIL, YOU ARE WAITING UNTIL THE ITEM SHIPS THE FOLLOWING MONDAY (all items are shipping the Monday after the auction ends,,,see last paragraph) plus about 4-9 days in shipping. Priority is usually much quicker, but we still ship everything on Mondays. If you are not in a hurry, Media Mail saves you .00. Priority is not cheap with this size (unfolded) package. I do NOT believe in making a profit on postage. In most cases, including the protective cover and large cardboard size, I lose a few dollars on shipping.
ABOUT MY FEEDBACK:
Since Ebay does not allow sellers to respond to negative feedback, I will do so here. I have been on Ebay quite a long time. I have always been very fair with feedback and usually it is positive. My feedback was earned through alot of hard work trying my best to please my customers. You will note I have a few negatives now. You just can't please everybody. The feedback that I have received that is negative (3 out of about 1,000), one person never contacted me that they were sent a pressbook with a cut in it, I simply sent the wrong one. I certainly would have corrected the problem immediately if they had just told me. I replaced it immediately. The other 2 are from someone who misunderstood that I send my pressbooks out on Tuesdays and they go Media Mail, which was an additional 4-8 days. She expected them in a few days. I completely refunded her total postage (after the negative feedback) even though the items were sent as stated. If you have a problem, PLEASE contact me and I will do everything I can to correct an error. This is my personal promise.
I WILL ONLY SHIP TO PAYPAL CONFIRMED ADDRESSES!
