A Vintage Hardcover Book with Autographed Bookplate (measures 6" x 8 1/2" [15 x 22 cm]; 494 pages) (Learn More) Kenneth Roberts was an American journalist and author of historical novels from the 1910s to the 1950s. Some of his works include: Northwest Passage, Lydia Bailey, and Arundel. Northwest Passage was turned into a movie by MGM in 1940. They only filmed the first half of the book, because that allowed it to have a happy ending, which Roberts intensely disliked. They had told him that they would film the second half as a separate movie, but when the movie did not earn back its production costs, they canceled the second movie. Roberts felt sure that they had never planned on filming it, since they left out a key character from the first movie, who played a major role in the second half of the book. Roberts passed away in 1957 at the age of 71. Important Added Info: Note that this there is a bookplate glued to the interior title page that has been personally autographed (signed) by author Kenneth Roberts! Note that this is a "BOOK CLUB EDITION" as noted on the inside of the dust jacket. Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. The dust jacket has darkened around the edges, but otherwise, the book and the jacket are in pretty nice condition. The dust jacket is in a protective sleeve.
