About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1934. Near fine in very good plus dust jacket.. First edition of this tender story of the life of an old schoolmaster, adapted into an Oscar-winning film in 1939 and again in 1969. A quintessentially British story told as the reminiscences of a schoolmaster beloved by generations of boys, GOOD-BYE, MR. CHIPS is a heartwarming classic. It received rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic: it was selected as the LONDON EVENING STANDARD's Book of the month, and the NASHVILLE BANNER noted that "[n]o dearer book has appeared in many years" (24). The numerous media adaptations of GOOD-BYE, MR. CHIPS are further testaments to its quality. This true first edition, published several months before the British edition, is a lovely addition to any bookshelf. 7.5'' x 5''. Original yellow cloth boards with blue lettering to front and spine. Original price-clipped pictorial dust jacket. 126 pages. Jacket with light edgewear, some tiny chips to corners and spine ends, spine a bit toned. Binding spine ends a touch bumped. Sharp.
