Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Full blue leather binding by Hatchards of Piccadilly, and EXTREMELY rare due to the War Economy production of the time. Spine has five raised bands, gilt lettering. Board edges are ruled in gilt, gilt ruled turn ins. Very slight staining to covers. Top edge gilt. Previous owner's boo…kplate to front endpaper. Very solid binding with no loose pages, a few small spots of foxing but text is generally very clean throughout. Overall condition is Very Good. The first printing of the first edition of this novel, set in the world of rubber production. The author was best known for Grand Hotel, one of the biggest selling novels of its day, and made into a brilliant film. Very rare indeed to find this work in a leather binding. War economy production standards meant that books quickly deteriorated, and perhaps this one was especially bound to preserve it. Beautiful writer, equally adept in English and German, Vicki Baum was also hugely popular. Her books are well worth a read. This is a genuinely rare copy, possibly unique. I'm sorry my head shadow got into some of the shots! Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.
