Original Star Wars Programme Press Book from 1976. This very rare exhibitor campaign book was sent to theatres in '76 by 20th Century Fox to promote the film and displays the pointy 'W' from all the early merchandise. Complete and in excellent original condition. The brochure is unread and intact and has not been removed from the external packaging, bound with Star Wars logo tape. The liveried card envelope is in very good condition with slight yellowing to the edges. The tape seal to the right is unbroken, but the left seal is broken, although not enough for the contents to be taken out. On rare occasions, these are offered for sale, it is just the booklet without the exterior sleeve, making this totally complete and unused example a must-have for the serious Star Wars collector. (Provenance: The Personal Collection of Charles Lippincott)
