12x18" pressbook w/16 pages. This is first version for the original release in 1941. Since its release, this RKO Radio Pictures film starring Orson Welles is consistently ranked among the best films of all time. Pressbook features nice large image of Welles on cover and interior contents include promotional text, various promotional ideas (including lobby displays, word-of-mouth campaign and a torchlit parade), numerous photos/images from the film as well as several ad mats. One of these ad mats has been cut out on page 9/10, measuring 4x5.75". This affects large poster image on page 9 and removes one ad mat image from page 10. Ad mats include two different 24-sheet posters. Scattered handling wear w/pinch creases to spine. Fine overall. Very rare pressbook, the first we've seen in our 47 years. See following item #1230.
