New York: Random House, 1939. First Edition, First Printing. Gene Fowler’s own signed copy of his novel which he gave to film composer Harry Revel. Inscribed: "To Harry Revel - This is my own copy, but you have earned it. Thanks for the Music Lesson. Gene Fowler, Jan 1940”. Revell wrote music and lyrics for the 1937 Eddie Cantor starring fantasy musical film, Ali Baba Goes To Town, on which Fowler co-wrote the screenplay. Very good used copy in a very good dust jacket.
