Soft cover. Condition: Poor. 'Intimately Illustrated' by Ralph Barton (illustrator). Let me start off by saying that this paperback is in poor condition. I'm listing it because there may be somebody out there who collects Hutchinson's Famous Copyright Novels and is lacking this one. It is No. 162. Currently, there is no other copy for sale on the Internet. It was 'Intimately Illustrated' by Ralph Barton. Written by Anita Loos. She would have been pleased to know that the The Guardian has Gentlemen Prefer Blondes as Number 49 on their Best 100 Novels list. So the main problem with the book is the binding. It is coming apart. It is currently held in place by the bottom third of the binding. I would count on that continuing to be the case. Above the bottom third there is full detachment between a good number of the pages. And there is a piece of tape near the bottom edge of the rear cover just adjacent to the spine, and another one directly across the spine on the front cover. If that piece of tape was not on the front cover it would be detached. Actually, of course, it is detached. I should say it would be loose. The rear cover has no such issue, but unfortunately that's because it's missing. The back cover is now the last page of the book. Some of the original spine is hanging in there. Other parts of it are missing. The pages are quite toned. They do seem to be pretty clean. The intimate illustrations appear to be in pretty good shape. Beside the toning, the pages are also in pretty decent shape. I'm not seeing much by way of creasing. There is a crease off the top edge of the first page which is an advertisement, and the second page which is the title page. I saw only a few small edge tears, not more than that. There no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. I don't know when the book was published. I'm not seeing a date. Judging from the condition, it was a long time ago. That's about it, gentlemen. and ladies.

HardBack. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 2nd edition. 2nd Impression, same year as True 1st, Brentanos, 1926. Thick Royal 8vo. 216pp i iv publishers advertisements. Frontispiece, illustrated title page and profuse full page and intext Intimate Illustrations by Ralph Barton. Very good clean tight sound square, no bookplate, small discreet ownership inscription to front free endpaper. Bound in black lettered yellow cloth, backed over red moire silk gently rubbed to spine and slightly sunned to extremities. The novel tells the tale of Lorelei Lee, a blonde flapper golddigger, and was inspired, Loos said, by her jealousy of a follies dancer with whom satirical writer and editor H L Menken was infatuated. The story was first serialised by Harpers Bazzar, causing circulation to skyrocket, then published as a novel, and adapted into a play, comic strip, silent comedy, a Broadway musical, and a second film starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell; all had popular and critical success. By 1929, Loos said her bathtub gin book had been adapted for a variety of different mediums designed into dress material and printed into wall paper and even had a song by Irving Berlin. The success of the musical had also prompted a brief revival of 1920s fashions. Among fellow authors, William Faulkner wrote to Loos asking her to accept his envious congratulations; his Great Gatsby was published the same year. Edith Wharton declared it the Great American Novel. Joyce and Huxley were also fans. Truman Capote reportedly was inspired by Lorelei when creating his heroine Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffanys. The volume in hand is a great addition to the library of reader and scholar alike.

He was a friend of Charlie Chaplin, who encouraged Barton to make a silent film titled CAMILLE. A rather elusive first trade edition in dust jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by Ralph Barton (illustrator). 2nd printing. [about as nice a copy as you could hope for, the book showing just the teensiest bit of wear at the extremities; the dust jacket equally nice, with just a bit of wear at the upper corners, one tiny tear at the top rear hinge, and some minor scrunching at the top of the spine]. (B&W cartoon illustrations) Loos's sequel to her runaway best-seller of 1925, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," starts out as a continuation of Lorelei's diary, in which she updates the reader about her adventures making "cinemas," her marriage and new-motherhood, and the commencement of her literary career in New York -- but as of Chapter Three, she switches gears and devotes the remainder of the book to a biography of her good friend and fellow gold-digger Dorothy. This "2nd Large Edition Before Publication" (from the jacket spine) was issued in April 1928, the same month as the first printing. The 1955 film version, GENTLEMEN MARRY BRUNETTES, wasn't terribly faithful to the book: for one thing, they made the two ladies sisters. This copy is in exceptional condition, with barely even a trace of the bottom-edge shelfwear that plagues almost every copy of the "Gentlemen" books.
