Description

RKO studio yearbook with Citizen Kane and Donald Duck. (RKO, 1940-1941) Heavy spiral-bound studio yearbook with decorated leatherette covers (faux crocodile) for the proposed slate of upcoming films produced by RKO, as a pitch to encourage theaters to book in advance. Contains 54-pages with sepia and monochrome photo and art illustrations promoting a variety of films and stars, including Citizen Kane (under its working title John Citizen USA), Carole Lombard in Hitchcock's Mr. and Mrs. Smith and one other film, Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant, Walt Disney for 18 cartoons, and much more. Front cover is virtually separated at spiral coil, though otherwise contents are complete and intact. Considering the separation, overall very good.
