About This Item
Grosset & Dunlap, ca. 1929 (photoplay edition). First Edition. Hardcover. Good. First photoplay edition from the 1929 film, illustrated with 4 reproduced stills from that film. The volume is edge rubbed with bumped spine ends; the spine is mildly sunned, has vertical creases, and there is a tidemark on the bottom fore-edges. The binding is still reasonably tight, although the text leaves are lightly age toned.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
