We *ALSO *have a great selection of *494 of them* ending *SUNDAY AFTERNOON <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/mode/0/search/presskit/15.html>* at * http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/mode/0/search/presskit/15.html <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/mode/0/search/presskit/15.html>* beginning at 3 PM CST (*NOT* at 7 PM like our Tuesday and Thursday auctions).
There are also around 500 pressbooks listed before the presskits, and you can view those pressbooks here: *http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/mode/0/search/pressbook/15.html <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/mode/0/search/pressbook/15.html>* *What are presskits?* They came into existence sometime in the 1960s, primarily as a replacement for pressbooks (although there was a period of several years when both were made for most films). Basically, theaters started running fewer and fewer newspaper ads, and switched to newspaper and radio advertising, and so pressbooks became pretty superfluous. The studios would prepare a presskit which was a cardboard folder with two pockets within it. Usually the outside of the folder had the title of the film and sometimes an illustration. Inside of one pocket would be a set of 20 or so 8" x 10" stills from the film and in the other pocket were 10 or more supplements (on inexpensive copy paper), which described the film and the actors (basically the type of text material that used to be in pressbooks). Sometimes collectors would buy presskits and sell some or all of the stills individually to other collectors. It is rare to find a presskit with most or all of its original stills and most or all of its original supplements. For each presskit we offer, we note how many stills it contains and how many supplements. *WHAT IS REALLY STRANGE (but lucky for collectors!) IS THAT PRESSKITS SOMETIMES SELL FOR LESS (or much less) THAN THE GROUP OF STILLS WOULD HAVE SOLD FOR ALONE, AND YET YOU GET THE FOLDER AND THE SUPPLEMENTS AS WELL! *Maybe it is because some still collectors just don't know about presskits and don't buy them, but if that makes for great buys, all the better for *YOU*!
