Description
    1929 MGM "The Greatest Shows on Earth" Exhibitor Book           Click on picture to enlarge     1929 MGM "The Greatest Shows on Earth" Exhibitor Book RARE Film Movie Poster Art Vincentini Hirschfeld         I have uploaded a photo album of this book here: PHOTO ALBUM OF MGM BOOK MGM Exhibitors Book (MGM, 1929-30). "The Greatest Shows on Earth" Exhibitor's Hardcover Book (9.5" X 12.5"). This has been a favorite of exhibitor book & Movie poster art collectors for many years. Book has ten pages of incredible art portraits by a master artist of the cinema, Vincentini (Ted Ireland). His renderings of Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Lon Chaney, Buster Keaton, Marion Davies, Norma Shearer, and others are certainly some of the finest ever done. There is an incredible full page Laurel and Hardy by a young artist named Al Hirschfeld, as well as terrific art by John Held Jr., the definitive "Roaring Twenties" artist. Other visual goodies include 70 pages with spreads for Our Gang, Hallelujah, Green Ghost, The Viking, Broadway Melody, Hollywood Revue of 1929, Mysterious Island, and much more. GREAT ARTWORK! My photos came out a bit dark, but please check out the above link.Auction estimates for this book in the past are around $500-$700. Listing this one for $250 opening bid NR! The former owner glued some old studio promo photos (7 I think) to the inside & back cover of the book. I don't know old film stars very well, but they are nice quality photos. I think it's a nice bonus! Two look like they may be signed. Condition - Missing dust jacket, the first two pages are loose in the front, a little wear in spots but not too bad. Most of the pages are pretty tight. Old studio photos glued on inside covers, some minor pen writing on inside cover (see pics). Some general age & wear  but no major problems. Considering how rare these are, I would call it used, but GOOD condition. I offer a 14 day return policy on this item. Winner pays $8.50 shipping in the US. Message me for international shipping quotes. Insurance by request. Will combine shipping if possable. Good Luck! MOVIE FANS Watch my other auctions! Over the next several weeks I will be selling off some more great vintage film collectables. Original 35mm Movie trailers from the 1960’s & 70’s including some Academy Award winning films,  1960’s 35mm Drive In intermission films, Original TV & Movie scripts, and other quality film collectables.         Payment Policy Payment - Paypal, Check, MO, Credit Card through Paypal.         Returns Policy 7 day return policy.
