Desc-A photoplay of the James Whale/Claude Rains classic Universal Studios movie. Mine of course is the edition with the laser dust jacket reproduction. Apparently even with the laser repro this book is harder to get in any condition. A photoplay expert I have communicated helped me in discovering that for some reason this book only has a collage of pictures from the 1933 movie on the front/end boards and no stills from the movie within the book. I thought the pictures were just missing from my copy. My DJ repro is washed out in the upper left but was the best available reproduction at the time. HB/DJ (repro)
