Item Description
10x12" hardcover w/spiral binding published in 1939 by Random House w/both American and English editions. We have only offered two English editions in our 41 years (the last copy selling for over $1000) but this is the only American edition we have ever offered. The book's individually numbered page has text reading "This Is Copy #85 Of The Original American Edition. Only 100 Copies Have Been Printed." This was published for promotional purposes during the premiere of the film and only distributed to select members of the media, theater owners and potential advertisers. Book has a total of 46 pages, 41 pages are numbered and single-sided, all in bw. There are 11 text pages featuring a detailed "Overall Continuity Outline." The remaining illustrated pages include concept drawings, story boards, photos of studio models, model sheets, etc. Book records the development of characters and basic story of Walt Disney's second feature-length animated motion picture, Pinocchio. Several pages have a few small pulls at a few of these spiral binding segments but all remains intact, pages are o/w exceptionally bright, clean and Exc./N. Mint. Fabric-covered cover has 2.5x3.25" label at center featuring title and image of Pinocchio. Cover has moderate dust soiling and some small fabric tears to bottom spine edge. Fine. Still an exceptional copy of this rarely seen book. From the Joel Cohen Collection.
