Important Added Info: Note that this is the first Grosset & Dunlap photoplay edition from 1923 in its original dust jacket. 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. 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, and they are quite collectible, especially if they still have the original dust jacket! 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. We have also pictured the dust jacket entirely opened and we have pictured the inside of the entire dust jacket, since we know collectors value that jacket and want to see its exact condition. Condition: good. There is paper loss at the bottom of the spine. There are water stains and tiny bits of paper loss around the edges of the dust jacket, and scuffing in Valentino's face on the back cover of the jacket (see our images).
