signed first edition Hardcover
1935 · New York
by SHERWOOD, Robert
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1935. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Fine in a rubbed, very good dustwrapper with light nicking to the spinal extremities. Inscribed by the author: "for my dearest Jane and Wilfred with much love - Bob, March 1935." The jacket pictures Leslie Howard in the lead role on Broadway. Also in the Broadway production was character actor Humphrey Bogart. Both reprised their roles for the classic film version, and were joined by Bette Davis. The film became Bogart's "breakthrough" role. A scarce title, and the only signed copy we've seen. (Inventory #: 53012)
