Where to find old press kits/books?
Hopefully there's an answer besides "eBay", but basically here's my situation very quickly: I'm starting work on a final paper for my film class, it's due in about 2 months but I wanna get started on research now because I know this is something I could work on for 5 years and not finish. Basically it's a course on 'trash cinema' (sex/blax/exploitation, horror, etc.) and I'm doing my work on the mis-marketing of Ed Wood's films. I have more than substantial info to cover background info on films, his life, etc. but what I'm trying to track down are any possible press books and such to help see marketing techniques beyond the obvious. Currently the only one I've tracked down is for a movie he wrote, but didn't direct, are there any stores or such that sell stuff like this? I wasn't even sure which forum to put this in, but since it is directly movie-related, I figured here, please move if necessary.

Wow, that's really a niche item. Unless there is a store that actually sells that stuff, or reprints, it sounds like your best bet is going to be eBay.
Side note: you are going to try to excuse Ed Wood's awful, awful movies by them having been mis-marketed? Ooookay.
