This mexican press book, made by MGM to promote Rubias Morenas Y Pelirrojas (Blondes, Brunettes And Redheads), was printed around 1963 and measures 8 ¹/2 x 11”. It contains some articles in spanish language, photos and campaign mats on eight pages. You already might have recognized, that the booklet is by far, much smaller and less comprehensive than similar american editions. Of course, american pressbooks are usually the ones that collectors go for, but if you’re looking for pressbooks from other countries than the USA, you will notice that they are pretty hard to obtain.
Value: 30 - 45 US$

Mexico - MGM Pressbook

This mexican fold-out pressbook, made by MGM to promote Amor En Las Vegas, was printed in 1964. It is interesting, that the pressbook credits the original movie title as Love In Las Vegas. It appears to be a working title, wich might have changed in the last moment, as many other countries also used Love In Las Vegas for their releases. This booklet measures
8 ¹/2 x 11” and contains several articles in spanish language, photos and campaign mats on six pages. Again, the booklet is much smaller and less comprehensive than similar editions.
