Rather than starting a new one, perhaps uploading those scans into the movie 
poster database at: http://movieposterdb.com would be better.

Subject: [MOPO] Pressbook DATABASE online?

Bruce, 

I've often wondered why there isn't a photo database of pressbooks. Naturally, 
of particular interest would be the 1 or 2 pages of the pressbook where all the 
variations of the poster for the film were shown. 

In fact, I'd be willing to create one and set it up so individuals could scan 
and upload pressbook images, if enough people feel it would be a good idea and 
would be willing to spend some time scanning their pressbooks. It does seem 
like a big gap in the documentation of our hobby.

So I was just looking at a ramdom box of pressbooks I have and I came across a 
bunch of old ones I had forgotten about, and in there was The Lost World and 
Tarzan the Ape Man. 

What wonderful posters both those movies had, and isn't it weird that there 
isn't anywhere in the world where you can go (either physically or digitally) 
and look through the contents of those pressbooks, and tens of thousands of 
others?
