Artist: Longmate Important Added Info: Note that ANY memorabilia from this very early Alfred Hitchcock movie is beyond rare! We have previously auctioned solely a single U.S. still, and that sold for $532! This book is the second item connected to this movie we have ever auctioned, and it might be many years before we auction a third item. Note that this is the Readers Library Publishing Company Ltd. photoplay edition in its original dust jacket (one of a collection of such books we are auctioning in this set of auctions). Here are some more details about these books: this company (like Grosset & Dunlap) was a publisher that made a deal with some studios to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies. They would republish 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. Because we know that the dust jacket is an important part of the value of this book, we also pictured the entire dust jacket opened up. Between that image and our other images, you should be able to get a good sense of the overall condition of this book. Condition: good. There are light brown stains on the inside of the dust jacket, but fortunately, they do not show too much to the front. There is some wear in the top edge of the dust jacket.
