About this Item

First Edition, First Print. 330 pages. In Very Good plus condition. Pages clean and bright. Spine and binding very solid and straight. A light red top stain that shows a little bit of scuffing. A very light bit of spotting to the inside front hinge and a previous owner's name had been erased from the first free page. Also, a small Bullock's paper sticker to the back endboard. A non-authoral presentation signature to the title page and a 2 1/2 inch tear to the top of the last page of text. The corners are sharp, but there is a rubbing to the top edge near the spine where the green fabric is rubbed off, exposing the cardboard cover. Measures about 3/16ths of an inch. The very rare dust jacket is a little shorter than the book by about 1/4 inch. The book is 8 1/4 inches tall and the jacket is a hair more than 7 7/8. The unclipped jacket shows soiling to the spine and foredges, wear to the corner tips, top and bottom of the spine, with small tears to the unpaginated front cover, and a long fold to the very edge of the inside flap. The color of the jacket is still very vibrant, as is the book itself. Douglas' first novel and the basis for the 1935 movie and the 1954 remake. An exceptional addition for any rare book collection or library. We pack all our books with care and ship in cardboard boxes. We accept all major credit cards and paypal.
