"My Man Godfrey," perhaps Carole Lombard's greatest comedic performance, was a huge hit for Universal in the fall of 1936 -- and one of the reasons for its success was some clever marketing from the studio. Among its gimmicks was a 3" x 4", 12-page booklet called "Diary Of A Debutante (mostly concerning her butler)," providing the inner thoughts of Carole's character, socialite Irene Bullock, regarding William Powell's character, Godfrey (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/636422.html).
The front and back covers and two inside pages were borrowed for a herald promoting the movie, and it's now available at eBay:
It measures 4" x 6" and is in good condition. Bids begin at $9, and the auction ends at 1:23 p.m. (Eastern) next Friday. Interested?

And what about the full "diary"? It's still available, too. At one time the seller was asking $3,500 for this rarity; the opening bid on this item since has been whittled to $500.
