Obviously, someone who had access to the set of this movie brought this book (which is from the 1952 21st printing) to the set of the movie and acquired autographs of many people connected to the movie, mostly cast and crew, but also author Herman Wouk (who would surely have been present at the filming), and also by Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart's wife, who did not appear in the movie! Our consignor obtained it from Julien's Auctions, and the card that they prepared for this book will be sent to the winning bidder together with the book itself. Also 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: We have 13 images of this book, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 13 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 3.

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.
