First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Collectible first edition, first printing of Cateau deLeeuw's (writing as Jessica Lyon) debut romance novel, Betty Loring, Illustrator, part of the Messner "Romances for Young Moderns" series focused on young women seeking careers during the Great Depression. Bound in green cloth variant (no known priority with occasional red cloth variants appearing in commerce). Per Messner's practice of indicating first editions during this period, no additional printings stated on copyright page. Includes scarce dust jacket with $2.50 price to top of front flap, eight publisher's titles to back panel with this title listed first, and front panel and frontis portraits by prominent illustrator Louise Altson. In text illustrations by author. Cateau deLeeuw was best known for her "career romances" published in the 1940's and 1950's, and Betty Loring proved to be her most popular, a story of a woman's efforts to establish herself in the competitive trade of commercial art - and of course ending in romance. Historically, Betty Loring received serious critical attention for its groundbreaking emphasis and practical advice on young adult adjustment issues when entering the workplace. Note that the last two images in this description show, respectively, an October 26, 1948 Courier News (Bridgewater, NJ) review clipping and the dust jacket cover of her later co-authored publication, The Strange Garden. 205 pp. 8 1/4" x 5 1/4". Tight, immaculate copy with minimal wrinkling to head and tail of spine panel. Extremities otherwise crisp with vivid cloth binding color and black lettering. Small "PLANNING DEPARTMENT" stamp to front and back blank endpapers. Otherwise Unmarked front to back. Dust jacket with minimal shelf wear and small chip to top left of front panel. An unusually presentable and scarce copy with an especially scarce priced dust jacket of a title often found, if at all, in poor condition. Photographs of or additional information about this item are available on request. All inquiries answered promptly.
