About this Item
First edition thus, heavily revised from the 1926 Doran edition. Light wear to the crown, slight rubbing to the spine lettering, very good in near fine dust jacket supplied from a contemporary later printing. Inscribed by the author: "To Hope and Edgar with love from Phil, 18 March 1929." Hope Montgomery Scott was the glamorous Philadelphia Mainline society woman who was the basis for the Tracy Lord character played by Katherine Hepburn in Barry's play and movie *The Philadelphia Story*. The play was dedicated to Hope Montgomery Scott and her husband Edgar, who were lifelong friends of Philip and Ellen Barry. Although not marked as such, this copy is from the library of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Peter Taylor and his wife, the National Book Award-nominated poet Eleanor Ross Taylor.
