Original sewn signatures have been neatly removed, but binding glue intact, with no leaves missing or loose, overall Very Good plus or better.

Description:
Beverly Hills, CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], 1968. Vintage pressbook for the 1968 film. The director's sprawling, science fiction epic traces the evolution of human intelligence under the influence of an unspecified alien force. The film's high scientific accuracy, coupled with bleeding-edge special effects and minimal use of dialogue, make "2001" universally recognized as one of the most influential films ever made. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Special Effects, and nominated for three others including Best Director. Set variously in the desert, in space, in deep space, and on the astral plane. Shot on location in Scotland, England, Arizona, and Utah. 8.75 x 11.75 inches. 20 pages, side stapled. Very Good, moderately rubbed, with faint soil and wear on the bottom right corner of the front wrapper. National Film Registry.

Description:
N.p.: N.p., 1965. A dazzling collection of 10 original pressbooks designed by Saul Bass, documenting the majority of the famed title and ad designer's work with director Otto Preminger in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Several of the pressbooks typically defy the existing conventions of pressbook design, utilizing a wild variation of size and dimension, with several of the items literally molded to represent the films they represent: "Advise and Consent" is shaped like a briefcase, "In Harm's Way" is designed as a dossier with a string tie, "The Cardinal" as a parcel, and "Bunny Lake is Missing" as a newspaper. Other key Bass designed titles include "Anatomy of a Murder," "Bonjour Tristesse," and "The Man with the Golden Arm." For most of the pressbooks in this collection, we have never seen another example. A fascinating example of the advertising work done by the premiere title and ad designer of the twentieth century. Various sizes, ranging from Very Good to Near Fine condition. Complete details… Read More
