Original Description:
ABOUT FOX CINEMASCOPE PRESSBOOKS: In 1953, as television started to become something everyone wanted in their home, the movie studios knew they had to compete and develop something to keep people in theaters. 20th Century Fox developed CINEMASCOPE, a widescreen process that would exhibit the picture on a huge screen in a very wide format and introduced at the same time 4 channel stereophonic sound, that had only been experienced in several movies like This is Cinerama and Fantasia. 20t...h Century Fox developed a new format for the first few years of these releases for their pressbooks, a huge (usually 14" x 20") size, these are among some of the best pressbooks of the 1950's. I now proudly begin to offer almost every one of these for auction from my Cinemascope collection. We will offer as many photos of these as possible for your viewing. Many of these are very hard to find, and many that we have are in near mint condition or close.

UNCUT 20th Century Fox Pressbook for the film "THE VIEW FROM POMPEY'S HEAD" starring  Richard Egan Dana Wynter Cameron Mitchell

This pressbook has previously been folded. The front and back covers have completely separated from the pressbook. The front cover has a very small one-fifth inch tear on the right edge and a one inch tear on the bottom edge near the left. The back cover has an area of about 1 inch by 2 inches that has been torn away, near the center on the right (see scan). There is also some wear along the top of the back page. There is a one inch by 5 inches cut on page 13, which was smaller advertising.  BONUS: ALSO INCLUDED IS THE ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER HERALD (SEE LAST 2 PHOTOS).

The pages of this pressbook are printed on a beautiful glossy paper. An original piece (NOT A COPY) of Hollywood nostalgia! This is a title rarely seen on Ebay!

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!  
NUMBER OF PAGES: 20
SIZE:  14" x 18"

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR ITEM WILL SHIP THE TUESDAY AFTER YOU MAKE YOUR PURCHASE! I am sorry about this but I am disabled and these are the only days I can get help.

ABOUT SHIPPING:   ALL PRESSBOOKS ARE MAILED WITH A COLLECTABLE PLASTIC COVER AND IN A LARGE STURDY CARDBOARD AND ALL ARE MAILED UNFOLDED!!!  THERE IS  A CHOICE OF MAILING SPEEDS. IF YOU SELECT MEDIA MAIL, YOU ARE WAITING UNTIL THE ITEM SHIPS THE FOLLOWING Tuesday plus about 4-9 days in shipping. Priority is usually much quicker, but we still ship everything on Tuesdays.

ABOUT MY FEEDBACK:  Since Ebay does not allow sellers to respond to negative feedback, I will do so here.   You will note I have a few negatives now.  The feedback that I have received that is negative (3 out of about 1, 050), one person never contacted me that they were sent a pressbook with a cut in it (by mistake). 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 is always an additional 4-8 days. This at least keeps the postage down. I do have an option for priority mail if you are in a rush.  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 pledge to all of my customers.
ABOUT ME:  I have been a movie fan all of my life, my grandfather worked for both Universal and RKO, and my mother was an editor at Paramount. At age 8 I was taken to the offices and saw piles of pressbooks stacked up.  I loved the pressbooks as they had many pages of information of these movies and such great old movie advertising and could be read many times over. I have collected since I was 8. When I obtained a pressbook, it would immediately go into a plastic bag and was taped shut so no air reached these.  My father owned a furniture store which I worked in for 10 years and the first thing and most important thing he taught me was customer relations, to treasure each and every customer, so I am an old-fashioned seller who cares about each sale. I am ALWAYS available to talk to about anything you might be interested in from my store, and if anything does not please you, I guarantee I will do my best to make you happy.

I WILL ONLY SHIP TO PAYPAL CONFIRMED ADDRESSES!   Inquire about quantity shipping.
