About This Item
Dust jacket shows wear around the edges and at the corners, with a few small pieces missing. There are a pair of 2-3 cm tears in the dust jacket at the lower corners of the front cover. On the interior of the jacket is a catalog of publications offered by Grosset & Dunlap at the time. Light blue fabric covered boards with dark blue print and decoration on the front and spine. Grosset & Dunlap is primarily a reprint publisher, but they didn't like to give the date of publication, so the only dates are the years of copyright by Doubleday and Page. This particular edition was most likely published in the 1930s or 40s. The pages are clean, tight and intact, with decorative endpapers. Owner's name on the front endpaper and a few numbers written on the rear. This is a moderately rare book, but not a first edition (in spite of the claims of some other booksellers).
Synopsis
At the foot of the rainbow is about Jimmy Malone and Dannie Macnoun. They have been friends since childhood and Dannie is in love with Jimmy's wife, Mary. With all the harm that Jimmy does to Dannie, dannie still doesn't see how deceitful and how spiteful Jimmy is. Also included is a biographical introduction to the author's life. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. This eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable
