This is a Picture Show Annual from 1948.
It was a present to my mother when she was a child and documents the state of the post war film industry in America and UK. Besides the serious stuff, there's lots of news, gossip and profiles, including one page pin-ups of the stars. There are pictures of Hollywoods leading lights from Clark Gable to Rita Hayworth, Bing Crosby to Margaret Lockwood offering a black and white precursor to the celebrity culture of today!
