Collection of ten pressbooks designed by Saul Bass

N.p. N.p., 1955-1965. A dazzling collection of ten 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 defy the conventions of pressbook design, with custom shapes to represent items in keeping with the films for which they were made: "Advise and Consent" resembles 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 titles in the collection include "Anatomy of a Murder," "Bonjour Tristesse," "Exodus," 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.
