ISLAND IN THE SKY pressbook, John Wayne, Walter Abel, James Arness, Andy Devine

Description

MY 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.

PLEASE NOTE: THE ONLY DAY I HAVE AVAILABLE TO SHIP ITEMS IS  TUESDAY...PLEASE NOTE THAT IT MAY TAKE UP TO ONE WEEK FOR YOUR ORDER TO SHIP. This is due to my disability. Also note most of the time we ship much sooner but there have been times when I need a few extra days.
I am sorry about this but I am disabled and these are the only days 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. Usually they go out on Tuesday. If you select media mail, this could take up to 12 days depending on when you made the purchase. This is the best I can do with my overall health.

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.
