first edition Hardcover
1922 · New York
by MAUGHAM, W. Somerset
New York: Doran, 1922. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First American edition. Owner's gift inscription on the front fly, the top edge of the fragile papercovered boards just a touch tanned, a very near fine copy in very good plus dustwrapper with a few light splash marks on the spine and some short tears. Basil Rathbone starred in the original theatrical production and this play was also the basis for a 1925 Raoul Walsh film featuring Pola Negri, Edmund Lowe, Rockliffe Fellowes, and Noah Beery. A very nice copy in the scarce jacket. (Inventory #: 88274)
