Important Added Info: Note that for this hardcover edition, Grosset & Dunlap did not put scenes from the movie within the pages, but rather put two pages of scenes on the inside front cover, and another two pages of scenes on the inside back cover (each is a montage of scenes from the movie). Also note that the original dust jacket from this book is NOT present. However, our consignor acquired a photocopy of the original dust jacket (printed only on the front side, and not reproducing the list of books that was on the inside), and that REPRODUCTION dust jacket comes with the book (and the dust jacket that was reproduced had staining in the top of the cover and stains on the interior flaps, so of course, the stains are also on the reproduction). 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. Condition: good. The original dust jacket is missing and has been replaced with a REPRODUCTION dust jacket (see above). Learn More about condition grades
