PREVIEWING TOP HAT (1935) Promotional book

Racine, Wisconsin: Whitman Publishing Company, 1935. Vintage original 13 x 9 1/2″ (33 x 24 cm.) promotional book, USA. Small folio, 32 pp., slight wear to edges of front wrappers, book shows a slight bend at top right, NEAR FINE.

A remarkable promotional book for TOP HAT, the Ginger Rogers-Fred Astaire musical directed by Mark Sandrich, which is generally considered their finest film.  This handsomely printed book contains many pages illustrating the film’s elaborate dance numbers. OCLC does not record a single known copy, and I have never seen this book before.
