Important Added Info: Note that this is the Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition. Here are some more details about these books: Grosset & Dunlap was a publisher that made a deal with all the studios in the 1910s to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies (there were also some by other publishers, but Grosset & Dunlap printed the lion's share of these). They would re-publish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s. Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT HAVE ITS ORIGINAL DUST JACKET, BUT RATHER IT HAS A REPRODUCTION DUST JACKET. We pictured both sides of the REPRO dust jacket, so that it will be that much more clear that it is not original. PLEASE DO NOT BID THINKING THIS BOOK HAS AN ORIGINAL DUST JACKET. Condition: good to very good. The original dust jacket is missing and has been replaced with a REPRODUCTION dust jacket (see above). The book itself is in pretty good condition, with an inscription on the first interior page (see our many images). Learn More about condition grades
